pilot bushing

I'm not a fan of those bearing style pilots that fit the converter register. They tend to fail more than the bushing, plus, I don't want hardened rollers potentially eating into an expensive input shaft. I like the bronze bushing style.

SKF B287 is the bushing style

I get mine from Kragen/Oreilly etc. Last one was about $10. IIRC

The bearing style is the same as a later model V6 dakota.

Here's a good reference where all this is covered.
