I had some other work to do so I've been off the site for a few weeks but I'm back working on the "grey lady". I connected up the shifter and had a few questions I hope some can help with;
This is a 5 sp conversion from an automatic (1974) and there are 2 holes in the shift platform, one in front of the other. Which hole should I use to connect to the body, the forward or rear hole? The forward hole seems to almost match perfectly with the existing self-tapping bolt that was there with the automatic. And is there some kind of spacer that goes in between the platform and the "tunnel" (body).
Is there a bushing that goes on the bottom of the stick shift?
Also, in the picture there is a nut & bolt configuration attached to the rear of the transmission that does not seem to go anywhere- does anyone know what that connects to?
If anyone has any other tips that may help please post them, my next step is to install the drive shaft, exhaust and then give her a start before sending her out for body and paint.
Thanks folks,
