Nelson,

Last year while delivering a 'Bird to BC, Canada, from South Carolina,
I had an oil pressure sending unit go bad on this 1980 FC 'Bird. I had
stopped by to see an old buddy, that I used to work with and he
manages boat transport division of a trucking company, located in
Mount Vernon, Ill. He called the truck repair shop, that he uses and
sent me over to have the 'Bird repaired, I was very impressed with the
service that I got there, but for the life of me I can't remember the
name of the outfit.

It is located on the east side of Mount Vernon on Ill. 15, just before
the airport, which is located on the left and the repair shop is on
the right side. I do remember that it is the old International
Harvester dealership and still had some of the IH signs on the
building.

I tried to call my friend, but he wasn't home. I will try to get in
touch with him tomorrow at work and get the name and phone number for
the shop.
