I bought a used O/D transmission for my B for $300.00 from a foreign
junk yard up in MN. afew years ago. They showed me the car it came out
of 1973 with 46K miles on it. All I had to do is re-wire it to work in
my 1980. I bought the swith for the shifter and a new cap and you can't tell
it from factory, unless of course you look under the car. For what it's
worth....Todd Don't for get to get the drive shaft from them also...
The junk yard was great, don't remember the name but it was in Osseo, MN
does anybody have any info on this place?? Had all kinds of stuff all
label on racks.....
