Re: [AMC-list] '64 American Q

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

There are a number of export parts that do not fit. The shop that redid 
mine last year got sent a bunch of them and they didn't work. I don't 
remember which parts specifically but I remember getting a call from the 
tranny shop letting me know about delays from wrong parts being sent 
(they noticed them at the end of the day on a Friday, and I was supposed 
to get the car back the next day). Other than that, they didn't have any 
problems getting parts. The only thing they really had problems with was 
the pin that holds the shift lever in the case. It was seized to the 
case and they said it took a whole day to get it out.
