    I'm in need of 3.72 ring AND pinion from a C52 or C56 trans!

    Great idea BUT, I'd rather buy them already taken out of a transmission. I went to a JY once and needed, from an 'E' series engine, the bell housing for its manual transmission. Busting my butt, I finally removed the item and when I presented it for paying, the cashier charged me for almost...

    TERCEL1: Results from only my FOUR trips to the track this year... At the end of last years season, TERCEL1's flywheel was giving me fits so while in the process of having all THAT sorted out, it was suggested by the guy who does ALL the work on my car (Denys (Boostjunkie) Bolanos, to scrap...

    TERCEL1: WTB a 4EFTE distributor

    The familiarity is the OIL... Other than THAT, my shaft seal appears to be pretty intact... My leak appears to be emanating from the 'weep hole'?? Still looking! alf

    TERCEL1: WTB a 4EFTE distributor

    Oooooooooo! Nice lookin' engine bay!!! Glad I asked if there was a diff between 4EFE and 4EFTE!!! Might I assume the 4EFTE dizzy has the same kind of inner "seal"?? Still looking for one (4EFTE dizz, that izz) alf :homer:

    TERCEL1: WTB a 4EFTE distributor

    I'm assuming the 4EFE and the 4EFTE dizzy are the same? Sure, let me know costs (including shipping) would be and would consider it! Even if I don't go with the purchase, thanks for the explanation about the inner seal! alf :homer:

    TERCEL1: WTB a 4EFTE distributor

    Somewhat disapponted USA buyer...?

    Yes, I paid with PayPal but I think the pulley is in a Maryland land fill by now... In all my years of buying things from this site and others, this is the FIRST TIME I've been stiffed!!! What really makes it hurt is that it was done by another 4EFTE guy!!! alf

    Somewhat disapponted USA buyer...?

    In search of a 4EFTE crank pulley, I searched here and was happy to find someone who had what I as looking for... and his name is johnnygt. Just before we sealed the deal, he sent me a photo of the piece and an explanation as to the cost (Shipping was a killer but...): The following...
