Thank you I couldnt see how it would work, but I was thinkng of hole, in block This makes more sense. i'll go look at it. I just got the seat, and carpet out.. going to get parts, down from upstairs of garage.. Picture is worth a 1000 words. lol thanks Carl
Nope! took out the seat, wrapped it up, and took out the carpets.. You should see the floors! 42 years.. the cars was built on Feb 9-66 (my birthday)in Oshawa,and lived in Toronto til 91 (25years), then New Brunswick til 2006.. Had to come in and have a nap i think i will change the pedals, and column, and cross shaft first. Starting tomorrow! lol Carl 2

oh, alright...i'll take a few pictures of the "canadian pontiac" setup in my bel air. let me finish my timmy coffee first.......
carl, carl, you awake? took a few pics but the inner fender brace is in the way of a good shot. i've posted a couple of a '66 biscayne i had saved. note on the 2nd pic, the ball stud threads into the bellhousing not the block.
Thank you very much for the photos!!!! It makes it much easier.. I looked at my bell housing and it has the hole. As Carl says, look at the details.. No wonder I hide mine in the garage.. I'll try to make it as neat and tidy.. thanks so much! I'M GOING TO SEND YOU A PHOTO OF SOME Tims and some donuts Carl 2
i just wanta see a pic of that shift lever coming out of the floor, not the column. good luck with the changeover. i see you painted the bellhousing "chevy orange."
Nice car Carl my first car was a 4 door Strato Chief Plain Jane 6cyl 3 on the tree. But had alot of fun with it .Was wondering if you or any of your members would know what year these banners would be from? i think 48 or so. I think they are so neat just to see what was a option back then.
I wonder if they make one for my Acadian? I am not too far in that project that I couldn't do that if they make it to fit a console. That would sure be slick.
I had a stock shifter in my 66 Nova SS 25 years ago, and after a lot of practice hit most of my full throttle shifts! The ones I missed sure tortured that poor little 327. I never pulled a single full throttle shift with that 427 Grande Parisienne, not wanting to blow up a genuine 427.
