Did a ton of measuring and the only thing I didn't account for was the brake pedal. According to my measurements. It may hit the shifter lever at the bottom. 😟
Now I may have to send it back. Possibly use that 68 column,, cause that is the exact length the 33 column is.
Saturday I'll cut that out and make sure before I contact the seller.

General Discussion - Intros / Muncie 4 Speed
« Last post by munch on March 14, 2024, 11:36:21 AM »Guys, I have acquired a Muncie trans that I can't determine what model it is as in M20, M21 or M22. The casting number is 3885010 and date code is P7C20 ( March 20, 1967). But from what I read there should be an A, B or C behind the date code that denotes what model it is and mine has none. Does anyone know what model I have?
Thanks
Thanks

would be more fun.
Also, I was thinking of you today and the footer in your posts, as I was enjoying a good part of my
day lying in the sofa with the cat on my chest, and my grandkid sitting on my legs, reading books with
her and her sister. Time well spent, even if it wasn't spent in the garage.
Thank you also, sammons Always fun when the work you do show like they do at this time. It
feels like progress.
I spent a couple hours cleaning off most of the dirt off my engine thursday evening, efter getting it
bolted to the engine stand the night before.
It's a ton more work that to clean up a chevy small block, there are so many small shapes in the
block and the heads, it's taking a lot of effort to get it clean, probably three hours was spent after
taking the after pic above.
I dropped the bottom part of the oil pan to clean it out and check how bad it looked inside. Not
very good, but with some luck, the engine might be serviceable.
Tomorrow I'll probably go get a couple of those rotating nylon abrasive wire brushes to scuff the
block and heads with to give the epoxy something to grab onto. Before that I'll do some engine
work, cleaning the vavetrain some and flush the engine with some oil and diesel and ...
We'll see.

I'll need to order a adapter kit for the new 6 hole style steering wheel.

« Last post by Rattiac on March 06, 2024, 10:22:45 PM ». You can use aluminum sheet for door panels as well. It needs to be cleaned with quick dry wax & grease remover and scuffed for any adhesive to stick to.

Like Sammons I know I have it but don't know where I put it. Next are the things I find when looking for something else and I have an "Oh yeah, I forgot I bought that already!" moment. Then there are the more worrisome moments, " What is that and where the heck did that come from?" This is why part of my shop reorganization effort is hanging the roadster parts & other cool stuff on the walls in plain sight and resisting hanging junk infant of it. Maybe even get rid on some stuff?
