One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

I may just break out the saws-all and remove the offending extra aluminum there , so I can still run the large oil filter. Then make it look pretty. I believe that area is for putting a starter on a jeep motor or something like that..

Did you get your 2004R governor and speedo gears correct before you install the transmission?? Or did I already ask you about that....don't remember??/
