I pm'd you back on 11/20 in response to your first pm with my name address and all the specs on my car. Which you then stated you would reply with a quote.

After no response I ordered a TKO-600 from ClassicChevy5Speed today who also had a offer of free shipping

I spoke with a guy there named Jeff who was very helpful and even started my warranty period active June 2008 as my car is in peices right now being rebuilt.

Sorry we could not comunicate but maybe it was not ment to be

That's o.k. Fonz69...The important thing to remember here is at least you are getting a TKO. You can now enjoy the benefits of lower rpm cruising. Good luck.

I can only add that on the evening 11/19 I asked for a quote from Keisler & the next morning (11/20) it was emailed to me. I had some extra questions & they were answered that day. Fonz69 must have been an anomaly as I have received nothing but quick & accurate replies from Gene & the staff.

You can take a look at my documented installation in my post above. If you are using the ultimate kit for the conversion, you will need to acquire very little. One thing you will need is a starter for a manual as the nose cones are different. One thing I would highly recommend is a hydraulic clutch kit as it sure makes things much easier. I went with the manual linkage first and then switched a couple months later.
