Think I just got screwed - not in a good way!!

I can't speak from experience with ordering the clips through Ford because when I installed my 190lph pump, it came with the clips, but I can speak about how unbelievable expensive even the simplest parts can be from Ford. Make sure it's the right clip too, because if they "special" order a part for you and it's not the one you need, you CAN'T return it. I got screwed out of two hundred bucks because of this and now have a few parts I'll never need or use. I had the forman over at Ford in AZ argue with me for an hour telling me that I couldn't put a 93HO 302 in my 69 coupe with a C-4. That battle lasted about a month and he's the one that screwed up and ordered me an AOD flexplate instead of a C-4 one, but I couldn't return it. He is no longer working at Ford. Apparently I wasn't the only one who discovered that he had no clue what he was doing. Now that I'm done rambling, have a nice day.
