i wanted to let people know that i just got a rebuilt upper for my 1990 OMC King Cobra drive on my 18 from Al Goreski (info below). it was a bit pricey (2K) but worth every penny and as my mechanic said, i was lucky to find one. Al was really great ensuring i got exactly the parts i needed. its nice to be able to shift again.

And yes, it's a true king.
