I have another TSB somewhere in my stuff that addresses the warranty issues in 66.


In 1981 we dismantled a '67 Rallye Dart that had been in a head on in 1974. It was a 273 four barrel/auto with a 3.23SG 8-3/4. My old '66 Barracuda (273-4/4sp) had an SPD in October 1965. It left the factory with a 7-1/4. Known ownership history back to 1975. The 8-3/4 from the rallye Dart wound up in the Barracuda...
