I've always ran a gano filter--so I am not all clogged up.
thanks again,
E

Re: shift socket/collar for 1965 Comet automatic

exactly.

Living so close to the beach (my wagon's a real surf wagon and not one of these phonies with the tiki garb and yellowed surfboard permanently attached to the roof racks from the mid-west), I am paranoid about rust especially on the drip rails. I cover my car (even at work). I'm looking for a detacha...
