I had taken the AOD to a shop to check it over thinking it might be an easy fix, we were all surprised at the condition of it inside but it was made to look pretty on the outside..was told I'd be getting a full refund but time will tell..

It will all work out eventually Steve but not likely for this summers driving enjoyment..
I did however ordered an intake manifold and carburetor for it along with some other needed parts to complete the connections ..

I don't blame JEGS, they have them rebuilt for them, it's whoever is doing the dirty work that is going to hurt JEGS reputation and what we told them. I'm sure they will be looking into the matter..

I've heard people speak highly of them thinking they were a reputable business.

John could have done better if he went to the junkyard and bought any ole AOD.

how much effort does it take to inspect prior to shipping. I know they job it out but that is pretty poor.
