When I went to install it, the crossmember at the back of the transmission gets in the way. The kit also came with a manual transmission bracket. Has anyone used this key? Could anyone help walk me through the install? Thank you! Link to CPP part: https://www.classicperform.com/Store/1960_1972_Chevy_Truck/4756MMK-2.htm

I believe it should end in jpg as jpeg is not an accepted file type and I really need to see that photo Last edited by Buckkoo; 06/17/2020 1:02 PM. 1950 GMC 250 Pickup 1965 Mustang Convertible 1972 K5 Blazer 1973 Buick Centurion 455 Convertible
