This is where I got mine last month. Best price I could find and I was happy with the quality.They also send you a UPS pick up slip with your box and THEY PAY to send back your core!!!!! They also were quick to refund my core charge.

Same here. Less than $200 delivered (before core charge). They accepted a PS core as my return.

I've purchased 3 boxes from Dennis at Firm Feel & was really happy with the quality & service. He built a stage 2 manual box for my Hemi Challenger & recommended the Volare box, since the header clearance was 1/8". He shaved one side & sent me pics so I could see if the clearance was adequate. Worked out great. Did a stock power box for my 69 Charger R/TSE & it was nice, too. My bro got his Charger box from Steer and Gear & was super happy with that as well.

I have a large sector NOS manual box that I bought about 10 years ago. It was supposed to be a small sector. I don't know what it's worth though. PM me if your interested.

There you go. FYI, they'll often run deals on ebag at prices below their published website prices.

Whenever people claim well-regarded companies provide bad experiences, especially small operations, I generally suspect a problem on the customer end...

I've had good dealings with Firm Feel. I have also used NAPA steering parts (DD racks) with good results. I believe their Muscle era boxes are OK and they just might have one available in a few days.

I don't know the interchanges on your year, but if you find a large sector box, the matching large sector pitman may be readily available and less costly than the original small sector. That was the case for me with a '70.
