Be sure to post the column shift parts on the swap meet or eBay or something. Those are always in demand.

I CHOSE THESE BECAUSE THEY WERE FREE. MY FAVORITE 4 LETTER F WORD. THE REARND WENT IN PRETTY SMOOTH, THE TRANNY WAS A LITTLE DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE NEW TRANNY DID QUITE FIT THE OPEN OF THE STK BELLHOUSING SO I HAD IT MACHINED TO FIT. I HAVEN'T YET PUT IT BACK ON THE ROAD BUT SO FAR SO GOOD. IT ONLY TOOK A FEW HOURS OVER A COUPLE OF SATURDAYS BECAUSE OF THE MACHINE WORK. NOW I NEED TO FINISH THE BED TO GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD. | | |
