Shift Linkage for 66 column to 2004R OD Trans

Has anyone done this or helped someone? The only think I've found so far is a universal kit from Shiftworks. It just a rod that you bend with a bracket for the trans and a bend to hook up to the column. I didn't find anything on the Loker site. classic-performance-products-universal-column-kit

Transmission Shop in the Western 'burbs

As far as I can diagnose, the torque converter in my son's '03 Taurus just bit it last night. I guess it's a common problem in these things - the splines in the pump-shaft drive section of the unit shear off, and you are dead in the water. Looking for suggestions of a place that'll do a good job. I don't have t...

These are clips taped inside the harness used to secure the harness to the front tie bar and the front drivers side fender. SS396 has them at $5 each, plus there shipping is outrageous, $64 total for 6 clips. I think they were used in other years than 66.
