Thank you and I appreciate your input. You opinion is great and I wish you were in S. Texas to help build this car. A 65 170 Dart configured for a S. Texas rancher with a radio delete, a 225, and factory air. It has 32,000 miles on it.No, it will not.
If you want column automatic in that car, you either have to find a '65 (only) A-body column and shift cables and transmission, or you have to find a '66 (only) A-body column plus linkages and '66-'67 transmission and appropriate driveshaft.
Are you sure you want to cut up this low-miles original car…?
