To be honest it was 4 years ago and it's difficult to remember. I did put in new bushings when I did the conversion. Don't know the difference between the Okie and the standard bushings. The bushings were whatever came with the Patrick's conversion. I remember setting the bell clearance with the "shims" but I'll check the bell and shaft again. As for lubrication I filled the transmission and "U" joint at the plugs. I'll check the lubricant level again.

Maybe I'm paranoid but I don't want this thing to fail. In doing the frame off, I found the 3:55 conversion and the electrical system the two most difficult items for this rookie. They are also the ones that worry me the most.


It never costs more to ask and it never costs more to think big.
