Lots of little stuff done lately; wires, misc fittings, R&P mounted, etc. I got the floor put back together and worked on modifying the Jag shifter today. The cable is a little short so I'm going to try and use a B&M cable on it.

Now she's bolted down for good and I can start putting everything else together. It was my first trans rebuild; fingers crossed that it all works. I used a 727 service manual and several You Tube videos for guidance.

Kudos for the initiative on the overhaul of the trans. Like most things - it isn't so bad once you get in there!

And I'll cart it away for you too; all at no charge. (Sometimes I surprise myself with my random acts of kindness.)

I'm still waiting for you to deliver that Cleveland motor from Ryan!!!

I really like the "artwork" / paint on the dash! Nice work on all the details, they always seem to just consume the most time tho'..

That's the truth; the most time and they nickel and dime you to death.

I was looking at distributor options and found a place that machines this little bracket that bolts on the stock distributor allowing use of an HEI module. Super slick and only $25. I've got all the engine wires run and and am not too far away from a test fire.
