Thanks for that. The mechanic in Albuquerque that set me up for the last leg home said he would write an email detailing what he thinks they should have done.

I do have one question, though. ...

Aaahhhhhh........It's good to be home.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my posts while I was on the road. It helped immensely.

I am going to try to get some of my money back from the...

Using my phone so i'll make it brief. Dwell wasn't set properly when they put the 200 in. Also no vaccuum advance and the carb needed love. I'll look for the right dist. when I get back but i'm on...

Thanks for all of the help. The guy that sold me the flex plate said he checked around and found a reference online that stated the p/n of the one he sold me and the p/n of the one that "fits all 6...

Thanks for the reply, Roger.

Did you mean there was a hole in the flex plate but they didn't line it up correctly?

Had to make the call and ordered another one same as is in there. Honestly,...

I got a reply from Dave who I got the previous flex plate from and he says that those are for 144 and 170s only, that they were never meant to hook up to a 200 and that it not matching up right with...

Hey Everybody,

Hey,

The saga continues. So the guy working on the car here in Tucson says that the car needs a new "flywheel"(flex plate). He showed it to me and it indeed is totalled. This would correspond...

Hi everybody,

I really do appreciate the advice. I had to take off on my trip before I had a chance to really fix the "park" issue.

The good news: It hasn't been an issue and thus far the...

Hey Everybody,

A mechanic told me my bell housing was cracked (as the reason I'm occasionally having trouble getting into and out of park) and he could weld it for me for "no more than $1200", I...

Thanks, Steve. Unfortunately, I can't wait until spring for the big pilgrimage. Working on the car with a buddy this week, so I'll know more then and see if we can get over there in a week or so to...

Sorry for the lag in response time. I got discouraged and got busy on other items on the punch list.

The mechanic (not same as first) was recommended by a good friend so I tend to believe he's...

My Falcon has been having a hard time getting into and out of park. Just this morning the mechanic told me that instead of needing a new transmission mount (the previous diagnosis) the housing is...
