Re: Where To Get A Transmission Rebuilt Near VA

I had a complete long block done by PAT'S RESTORATION SERVICES, MONROE, CONNECTICUT 203-556-4119 PMUSANTE17@GMAIL.COM.. I was very pleased with his work. He kept me inform during the rebuild with photos and emails. He is a bit far from Virginia. Give him a call.

Re: Sure Mic Crank?

I have sure Mic in my 15 touring. My father found this crank in a busted block in the late 50. I just had the motor rebuild 2 years ago by Pats Restoration and it still usable. I don't drive much over 35 mph.
