Hey thats exactly what I asked Santa for. I think he accidentally left it at your place instead of mine. I'm going to send Santa an email, don't be surprised if he takes it back to give to me.

Is that a different ratio than what you have now?

Shipping must have killed ya. Especially going from Illinois to OK.
See...I could have saved Santa's back and picked this up myself if I'd seen it on Ebay.

Considering I spent in excess of $900 for the unit I installed in my 1980 (ebay $425 + another $450 to have it blueprinted and 3.55's installed), I think you got a great deal.

Enjoy!
