So send it back and I’ll find someone else to do it. They returned it to the wrong zip code, 200 miles away. After two weeks of talking and tracking it down I finally found someone who knew what he was talking about, and guess what, they really could certify it after all. Took almost a month for all this to happen and I finally got it back, re-certified.
The first time I sent it to QuickTime (pre Holley) no issues turned it around in 10 days. Oh and I asked the tech if I could get his phone extension so I didn’t have to keep calling and going through all the prompts wasting at a minimum of 15 minutes each call. Nope against company policy!
Can you tell I’m still mad about it?

In addition to Kelly`s fiasco, when Quicktime got bought out by Lakewood, many of Lakewoods scattershields , as well as some of Quicktimes slower movers were discontinued. The 390-428 Ford FE Lakewood has been dropped, and the Quicktime model, for some strange reason, was designed around the use of a shorter diaphragm pressure plates, so to make a Long style clutch fit (like every OE FE powered Ford car came with from the factory), requires stacking block plates to make it work. I don`t know if Tim Hyatt (RIP) ,recertified Quicktime bellhousings, but over the years, I had him recert my Lakewood and McLeod bells at his trailer at the NHRA National events. Anybody aware of any independent places that can do the recerts?
