If you mean the column? It went from the top of the opening, to the bottom.

If you mean the brakes?

We followed this:

We did a 5.5:1 ratio... splitting the difference.

It's an Entropy radiator for an LS in a 73 Camaro... stock sized, that I know of.

Looking at your pictures and looking at mine and my Subframe it looks like I will have to modify it similar to what you have done.

I think you do, too.

Not hard to figure out, with a measuring tape.

and today's pics. More cutting... took 2.5" out of the tunnel to get the shifter in. I'll need a different console. I plan to build one that looks seamless to the dash. Like my black GMC C15... what's another 40 hours? :/

I know, I need longer plug wires... those were made before we moved the coils.

Still motoring away on this. Have all the AC plumbing and fuel to go.

Wiring is almost done.
