I thought this worked out good. The switch for the heater fits up where the THROTLLE cable was.
The pull out that came with the heater switch fits this old chromed knob w/setscrew.
Now its NOT mounted under the dash on a cable bracket.
The heater works well. I have the stock heater on the defrost vents. Both on the fuse block. ACC

moved the muffler pipe over some...enough.

Does your spare tire mount underneath? Or will you have it inside the back?

it`ll be inside back. I don`t have one at the moment.

here is the spare in my 59 panel. I doubt it would have fit under there if the dual exhaust was not mounted under the wheel wells outside the leaf springs

I`m gonna swap out this sm 319 for a saginaw 3 speed. Picking it up from the legend Larry Richards
The original "Outlaw". Nice fella.
I`ll just have to modify the shift mounting bracket but he has extra brackets. joeverdegan.com/larry-richards-an-original-grand-national-outlaw/

I`ll have to weld on and extend that one bracket eyelet to mount the shifter bracket to the side cover. The trany will push my
shifter location back about 3/4 inch which is no big deal. Got the old one out today.
Larry was telling about those muncie sm 318/319 and the difference between those and the saginaw. He would not want to work on the muncies.
Larry is 71 now and still working hard. He rebuilds these 3 speeds and 4 speeds for racing and driving and ships to Milwaukee 10 or 12 at a time.

I should have it running tomorrow.
The sm 319 sounded like the bearing seal was or gone bad.
