Hi All -
I was trucking right along on my car last night. I did the hard oil line, the headers/muffler bracket - things were going fine. I installed all of the new bushings for my shift linkage and went to install the shift bar - It was not even close to fitting. It really hits the headers, and I am also a bit concerend aboout it hitting the left side timing chain cover as well. My car is a 1972 with a tail shifter. My tranny shifts really well, so I had no interest in swapping to the side shifer. I thought this would also keep my conversion easier as I thought the -6 used the same early parts. Does anyone have any experience with this? I did a pile of searches, but all I can find are shift bar modification for the 1973 and later side shift linkages - which has made me even more concerend..... Absolutely in your debt for any help.... Scott S Attached image(s)
