[AT] Case VAC throttle spring thingy...

[Indiana Robinson]

It's even worse than that... I looked at it very closely and I am sure it
is already broken and is being held in place with a piece of twisted baling
wire...
We have bought a handful of things from them over the years and while they
were high we never had any problems with anything. I have to wonder if this
is a glitch and maybe the $55 is for the lever assembly, not just the
spring?
.
Well, I did have one problem... We bought a set of nice rims off of a Ford
8000 but ended up not using them. The problem was local... I put them out
for sale and someone (I assume a scrapper) just loaded them up one day.
Hardly Robert's fault.  :-)
