On a side note, I gathered most of the pieces for a Hemi A-Body 4-speed set-up including the original STEEL bellhousing and bottom cover, 72 Hustle Stuff A-Body 18 spline 4-speed trans, shifter and linkage including a used reverse lock-out, and a few other parts that will be for sale soon. When I got the Shipley Hemi Dart it had the floor pan cut-out and a frame mount for the ball so I assumed it was a 4-speed. Jack Arnew told me it was an automatic car, so it must be done that way, thus the 4-speed stuff needs to go if anyone here is interested.

Jim,
