Re: South FL 67' Build Thread
Picked a few parts. Got almost all my PS stuff in. (Thanks again Jonathan for all your help) And now I picked up an LFD accelerator bracket and a 71-72 Deluxe pedal assembly. Still trying to figure out what cable I need.

Im definitely missing the extra gears in my previous 700r4's.
Overall it drove well, Tranny shifts were nice and solid, chirps the tires every time

I did notice a few things perhaps someone can chime in and point me in the right direction. The truck does have a tilt wheel but it still seems to be a bit tight. Is there a way of shortening the actual column pushing the steering wheel closer to the dash a tad.



Also Im not sure if its because i have an aftermarket billet shifter, but it feels quite loose/wobbly and too close to the actual steering wheel.




Other than that I have a few wires in the engine bay I want to clean up
the spring may have popped forward in it i had to replace the spring wen i replaced the shifter that maybe the reason for the play

Re: South FL 67' Build Thread
If the turn signal lever is original and is the right distance from the aftermarket steering wheel you have on there, the billet shift lever angle is too sharp (sure looks like it).
If the signal lever is too close too, you can put a longer collar/spacer behind the steering wheel to place it farther out (if that works for you). I'd probably just go back to a stock shift lever. Not a huge fan of billet everything.
