Seth, I have had a number of those. I am 99% certain they are early production after-market units.

Seth, I never did use one as I had a good stock of NOS Ford units.

Your friend that said they were junk... did he say why he thought that?

No, hopefully I'll talk to him on the phone soon. You know him. He lives in the south.
