Re: [Amc-list] 4-speed wagon?

["Jeff Reeves" <jeffr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

For a true bolt-in situation, you'd have to seek out a 67-up
Ambassador/Rebel/Matador with a manual tranny to get the pedals and
linkage (know anyone parting out a 4-speed Rebel Machine?). Once you
have the big-car pedals and linkage, and you have a T10 with AMC
bellhousing, it should all just bolt in. I think you'll find your car
has the appropriate holes already in place in the frame rail to
accommodate a clutch linkage. You will have to buy a 4-speed tranny
mount (usable on original tranny x-member) and you may have to have a
driveshaft made. 
If you do this, you ought to go ahead and seek out a steering column
from a floor shift car so everything looks stock inside, and you'd
probably need to find a speedometer from a Matador coupe that was an
original floor shift car to eliminate the "PRND21" shift sector in the
dash. 

This isn't a complicated swap provided you find all the correct parts.
