Katy, Yes I have and they have been good

Has anyone had experience with buying parts from speedway motors. I need an open car windshield frame and a stone guard and they are less expensive than the Model A vendors. Could I have your opinions.

I have a transmission that I am having trouble to identify. It is a top loader ,three speed open driveshaft. The number stamped on the clutch housing is. 6E7297.Help please..

I had a similar problem but my rotor was to high. I had a new distributor body that was to low and caused a premature rotor failure . I suggest you get a origin Ford body and measure and compare the two. Some of these replacement parts are not up to Ford spec.
