He gave it to me in a Federal Mogul box Any thing I could look for on the shaft to get spec's. I think there was a barcode on the box. Thanks for any help, working right now, don't have the piece with me, will check in later in with some more info. Faster Horses, Younger Women, Older Wiskey, More Money --- Tom T
