The perils of AI are just beginning? Remember Terminator? 

Thank you

Bowls and metering blocks not original

Hey Stu, can you check the email address again? I sent him one and it kicked back thanks.

Probably one of the most complete cars I've ever seen. Only thing changed on undercarriage is gas tank but the original came with it

Are yours originally phosphate or painted black or combo of both? They came all 3 ways.

PM sent

Found. Thank you

There isn't any. Jack Brooks (Dead nuts on) was the source for making it any no longer is so therefore anybody who is selling it is no longer available to get any

Anyone know of someone that rebuilds AC compressors, not exchange. Classic auto air no more

I need a really nice C9ZA AM/FM factory stereo. Email direct TimothyLea7@gmail.com

Looking for solid condition, don't need light switch. Email direct TimothyLea7@gmail.com

I took a photo of three different steering wheel emblems. The top emblem is from a production car. The NOS Ford emblem has a thicker shinier black paint so it is harder to see the cross hatch lines compared to the ACSCO which has a thinner duller black paint. All three have the cross hatch lines at 45 degrees. The ACSCO has nicer shinier chrome in my opinion. One can argue that they see variations between the snakes and lettering. I got the ACSCO emblem from a retired ACSCO employee and she said it was one of the emblems that went to A.O. Smith.

The biggest tell to me is the snake. If you see paint between snake and racetrack its a service piece or repo. Snakes coil touches racetrack on assembly line version

The cross hatch texture in the background is the tell that it is original. The repros have a smooth background.

Not the newest version

The newest repro texture has lines going at right angles(up/down and sideways) the originals typically have lines running at a 45 degree angle. I posted a picture to be more clear. At least compared to the ones Branda sells now.

Your comment was "repos have smooth texture" Comment was to inform people that new repos also have cross hatch pattern albeit incorrect.

I'm thinking the same thing Cory
