35 FC Transmissions

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

---Mike:

You said an NA is "not good at all." I have a Mercedes NA diesel
here in Australia and it is simply great! 4:11 diff and I get great
mileage too.
That ole 210NA CAT is great too!!I bet a lot of guys like their 210
CAT NA's!!

Wish I had my old 77FC33 back!! Simple, 8-9mpg, a "thrill" to
steer and noisy!! and...$100,000 less tied up in it!!
Regards,
Hank Hannigan
1990 SP36 (stored in VEGAS)
