Hey Barry,
I am not too clear about the modification to the car for the O.D.. Let me 
know if I got it right. The metal part of my transmission tunnel needs to be 
cut further back then where it currently ends, so that it can accommodate the 
O.D.. Did the O.D. cars have a different cardboard trans cover? If not was 
there some sort of intermediate cover?
Thanx a lot for all your help.
