Great job on the conversion, did the up-side-down 3-4 linkage rod give you any clearance trouble?

What did you do about the different driveshaft and speedo cable you needed for this conversion?

well...... it's at the end of it's thread, and I needed to bend it it the vice, but other than that no. I aalso took the oportunity to replace all my paperclips with the spring loaded clip units that I got at napa.

Well, this guy I know gave me a shaft to use, and i had it shortened by 1.5 inches. It was hard up against the tranny but level with the diff. 1.5 inches was perfect fit.

speedo? what's that? I unclipped the old style gear and crammed the square drive end in the hole. I haven't made it out to the yards yet so I haven't got the real one. So far, after 1000 miles, it hasn't fallen out yet, and no zipties (I got skills!!!!)
can I take you for a ride in it soon? Did you get my email?
