Thanks Bill, Doc. My car is a 4 speed so I don't have to worry about shifter linkage or kickdown linkage issues. Bill, I am almost postive that my Offy does not have that tab hanging down in front (although it's been a while since I looked at it). I did notice that the header that I got looks almost just like the one in Brother B's album, if that makes a difference. It is a 6 into 1. I will let you know what I come up with once I get into this.
