I saw a gorgeous but base-ass Camaro at a show with a 3-on-the-tree manual behind a 250 six. I'd almost rather have that vs the usual built SBC/TH400. Seems to me that making both column and floor shifts is kind of dumb, but I'm not a Mad Men-era accountant...

Definitely old school, but it lets me build a custom console with adequate space for a planned A/F ratio meter, temp gauges for engine and transmission oil, and those all important cup holders. The only issue on the build with the column shift was the necessity for a cable conversion on the shift linkage to get around the headers.

Well they got the air cleaner modified so the hood will close and front end alignment was completed, so it was time for some road testing. Do you know that you can drive 7 miles without any oil in a posi-traction rear end before it seizes up?
As it turned out, the axle wasn't the heavy-duty, 3.23 ratio described by the seller. It was only a standard 2.41 ratio. So it was new axle shafts, new carrier, new gears, new bearings and a seal kit, but now it's correct. Tech says it drives insane now, but with easier launches having the right gear set. Last issue is getting the tachometer to work correctly with the MSD distributer. The original circuitry doesn't play well with the extended dwell signals electronic ignition systems produce. Maybe a week or two until it's home in the garage.

Loaded up 2 of the 3 boys for the 1st trip back to the bike shop since my injury in 2020. This one will be a doozy as the time sitting in the garage was unkind.
But that's inconsequential considering that on Sunday, I begin a new training course called 'Couch to 50.' The 1st ride is 5 miles and the 50 miler is at the end of September. I am 6 weeks out from replacement hip surgery and I feel fantastic.
