65 Barracuda daily driver

Yeah man, progress!!

I'm not at all familiar with the cable transmissions so I'm no help there.

For the breather you could use a grommet. I have some grommets for a 1" hole and a 3/4" breather. I also have an Edelbrock breather with a grommet already on I'd be happy to send you if you'd like.
