Do Stockers need correct year seats?

I hope they dont check the radiator in my car, the OEM part number is right on it. Its out of a 1961 Chrysler Imperial 413 car, holds about 5 gallons of water, WHY, well the car never gets hot, it was free and in perfect shape.

When the rulebook says "factory" or "like-factory" those words refer to what came on that particular car, or model of car. Therefore, you can not use every part from that same manufacturer which has be built in the last 100 or so years.

If you can't reach the shifter, build a mounting bracket for the shifter to move it closer to you. I've seen this in many bench-seat Stockers. Problem solved.

Evan the rule book states in many places that the part must be same make model and year produced. In this section it only says factory type so there is a difference.

Read my first post again or for that matter don't. Let me make it easy to understand for you, if the rulebook doesn't specifically say that you CAN do it then you CAN'T!
In other words you can't put 5 pound Sunbird seats in your 79 Firebird.
