1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years
Moving forward, I do not want to deal with the same MC issue. I ordered the relo bracket from Mancini and a different MC. With the new setup, modifications still needed to be done to clear everything.
-The studs to mount the MC had to be pressed out, and the holes tapped to receive new 1/2 bolts.
-The passenger side bolt hole needed to be cut out so I could rotate the MC onto the bolt, then tighten it up.
-Shave down the front of the hole to gain more clearance.
-Shave the bolt head itself down to gain more clearance.
The result is:
-The relo bracket can bolt up to the firewall
-Install valve cover.
-passenger side screw is already installed in the relo bracket and then backed out to accept the master to pivot onto the bolt.
-Install driver-side bolt.
