Oil pressures are usually higher in reverse that for forward gears, there was a Ford trans years ago that used to break cases when dropped into reverse. I think it was the cruisomatic.

Anyone have a source for an alternator rebuild kit for our types of alternators? Specifically a kit or source for the rectifiers/bridges? I like to do my own stuff.

I've found a set of mint condition black/tan seat out of an X. How do you all think they would look in a grey interior limited. Also what do you think of the price $500

I don't know about a gray interior, but I bet they'd look pretty good in mine!

Sounds like a plan, I say if you can do it, then go for it!

I'm glad you don't live is this small town, you would be following me around trying to figure out how to screw me up.
You probably benefited from at least one one my posts but you would never admit it.

That looks like a great deal. Usually here in Seattle guys want 1k for super duty cloth out of an 02+. I say do it, you could make a nice two tone interior out of it. Change some plastics to black and tan. Would look pretty cool.
