Good day everyone!!

Well, I failed to be awake before Carolina Driveline closed... So, I have to wait till tomorrow for that part...

I lined up the shifter arm parts and got an ideal measurement... I’ve been thinking about an alternative method to locking them together... Pinning and JB weld?! I’ll think about that!!

I wanted to get this centered...





I may need to put another washer in here... There was still too much room! I don’t want to risk breaking the outer ear...



With this in the center at the initial cut, I’m way too far back... The shifter will be hitting the radio in neutral...



Move it to here and....



I get this much overlap...



I got the starter installed... It didn’t fit all the way in by hand... I had to draw it in with the bolts... I guess the broken web on my block was just a touch off... FYI, you can get the shield on the starter after the starter is in place...

I have my list of stuff to get from the YPIY tomorrow... Wish me luck all the stuff I need is there!!

Cheers for now!!!
