Robert,
the 4 synchro unit will bolt right up to your engine with your current
bellhousing (remember, I don't have that). So you're good to go if you
still want it. You have my address, so you can mail a check anytime.
Let me know the exact date you intend to come out so I can make
arrangements. I'll need the deposit in advance so try to send it out
ASAP. The unit is at the mechanic being double checked. Talked to him
today and he says it looks great. Don't forget, you'll need to obtain
the overdrive relay and switch. I might be able to refer you to
someone who has them.

Christopher
