    Hey Jeff,

    Oh, wow. Just a crack huh. Price is pretty good though.

    '74 is abs. '76 was first year attex switched to poly.

    Just notice the good picture of it. Unless he "just" hit it, What a scam artist!

    The "good" pic definetely looks photoshopped. Still a pretty good deal for $250 considering it looks complete.

    $250 is a good price just for a tranny.

    Yeah, the guy was a bum for hiding that damage but you still got a good deal.

    It may have finally found a good owner.

    Looks like you can handle that small crack.

    starting fluid dries out the cylinder and may score the wall bad ,as well as wear the rings badly..
