There’s no sign of that. Everything looks factory.

No, I checked that. I’m going to leave it out for now and drive it around and then try again. Maybe something will move. Like 65terrorcuda said, he didn’t have one for 27 years!

Thanks for sharing. I was hoping they were the same.

Can someone tell me if the 273 2 brl exhaust manifold is the same as the 4 brl exhaust manifold? I thought I read somewhere they were.

I went ahead and put all my suspension back in.

No not yet. I’m still working on it. I went

I checked the control arm bolt and it’s in to the hilt. And I’m pretty sure R goes on the passenger side and L on the driver side. Like I said before, there’s a 1/4 inch difference between the right and left side. That would be more than enough to get the snap ring in. I’m not sure what I’m...

I hit it with a 15lb !! It didn’t budge!

What would cause this? The driver side TB goes in about a 1/4 of an inch farther than the passenger side. I can’t get the snap ring on the passenger side in at all. They both came out easily. I measured the control arm socket to make sure it went in all the way. It acts like the K frame is not...

Automatic.(fat fingers). Nothing is simple. I guess I’ll just try to find a 66 console. I’m sure there can’t be many good ones to be had without paying an arm and a leg. I have time to look. I’m still trying to finish my front suspension. That should keep me busy until spring.

Yes it’s a column shift automa
