I made a measurement from the floor (no carpet) to the top of the front edge of the seat and it was 14.25 inches. A few board members offered to measure their seats, so we'll see what the difference is very soon.

Not sure what kit I'm going to use yet. I was thinking about just making the lock-up work off of a switch for simplicity, but the vacuum kit makes it real simple because the trans does all the work.
Brad did his TV cable using a factory bracket with a slight mod and it works great on his Holley. I might use the same set-up.

Bow Tie Overdrives is actually in the next town over. I've used their stuff before, and it worked good. You'd be shocked at how their place looks. They do a ton of business, but their shop is a dive. 99% of what they do is mail order, so it doesn't matter how nice the place looks. Those boys crank out some transmissions.
