SHOpar mentioned it in this thread. Not sure what is going on or if Ed is still in the business and just changed to a different dealership, or what.
Here is the post:
And here is a link to the thread. Sounds like they've let things go down hill since Ed left.

Here is the post:
Yeah, I think you're right. I messed with the new pulley some more last night, still couldn't stop it from rubbing and heating up horribly, so I gave up and reinstalled the old one.
I took the new pulley inside, got online, and tried to figure out what I got. The new pulley has no parts markings on it whatsoever and it's obviously the wrong part and not even a Motorcraft piece! The box it came in is right, but it looked like it was previously opened, so someone must have pulled a fast one and returned the junk I got to the dealer.
Just so I can be done with this nightmare, I am picking up the correct pulley tonight from the local dealer and paying full MSRP. This would have been an easy job if I had gotten the right parts the first time around!
I am so mad about my order through Horizon Ford (the place where Parts Guy Ed used to work), as this is the third time they have screwed up on this one order! First time I got sent someone else's parts; that delayed me a week. Once they finally arrived, the turn signal switch was the wrong one. Called them back, ordered the right switch and added the upper idler pulley. Those show up last night; the switch works, but the pulley is wrong!!!!
Needless to say, I'll be giving Horizon Ford a piece of my mind and demand a full refund for the defective pulley and all my shipping costs. I also will never buy from them again, as they obviously can't get it together now that Ed has left!

Well, I called Clay and left a message for him to return my call. I got the manifold off, that was a LOT easier than I though it would be. Dad's going to Mitchell where our machinist is and he can drop it off today. Just need to get parts now. Alternator and starter will be here Thursday finally, get these parts ordered and I'll have it done this weekend then.

You got that manifold off already?????????? Man, your good, maybe I wasn't brave enough to apply a lot of force on those bolts like maybe you did. I just didn't want to break one and have to deal with that. Your smart to leave the up pipes along until next winter.
Yes Bill, I used a gasket and so far no leaks.
I also had some trouble with Horizon Ford but, for example, the exhaust manifold bolts thru them were $2 a piece and at the local Ford they were $8 apiece. So, if your shopping and not in a big hurry its worth the time to check their web site for a price. On this last time I dealed with them the ac high pressure switch and pigtail were a third of what a local Ford dealer wanted but they sent it to the wrong address. I'm glad I wasn't in a hurry!

Well, Clay answered my email last nite and said he could help me out, just kinda waiting for him to call to order. I guess I could go check if horizon answered me yet for curiousity.
I broke 4 loose with just a 3/8 ratchet. 3 took a 1/2", and the 4th took a breaker bar, and I was a little worried, but it came without snapping. I just cut the manifold to uppipe bolts.
I'll do the uppipes and other manifold this winter. I should do headers.
Horizon is where you got your stuff Glenn?
edit: No answer from horizon.
