Finally!
Somehow my luck changed today, and after 5 hours of an uphill battle, the Chevelle is officially a 4-speed.
Proof:
Still have some adjustments to make to the crossmember, engine accessories, line locks, cut the floor for shifter, some random things, and 500 miles of break in.

Thanks! Went from a blown th350 built by a "reputable" builder in the SJ area, to a TH350 that worked fine, but I wanted to go back to a 4speed for nostalgia.
EDIT* I also gotta thank Bonzo, The Hammer, Crazyblazer87, and my dad for all their help today.

You know if you had sold him a nice light aluminum cased ST10 my life would have been easier.

Yeah, plus my shoulder is in desperate need for surgery, but I am pushing it off. Holding a trans with the risk of it blowing out isn't fun.

So was it the clutch disk keeping it from going back in properly? I would have liked to be there but BTK79 had already asked me to help on the house. Glad to see it in!
BTW what number in line am I?

I actually do not know what the problem was, it was most likely the disk that kept moving around too much. If its a project that is a one day thing, let me know. Once the car runs, I will pull it off the lift for a day...weather pending.

HAHA, I am mostly kidding. The exhaust on the 91 rattles now in the back for some reason and the intermediate pipe hangs a little low near the rear. I would like to pull it out and trim it a little. I tried to get it apart last time I was under the car but it is too tight. I think I am going to need a little help getting the pipes seperated. I probably wont do much on the car for the rest of the winter (maybe a wash  ). I need to get the crosslace wheels and the tires for them mounted since I dont want to spend money on 2 tires for the R15's
Your car needs to be finished, we can worry about mine later. Let me know if you want help, I am good at supervising, getting beer, pointing out what you have done wrong or where flaws are etc.  I CAN work on them too, I can do these basics

I will let ya know, I will be working most every night this week I believe. Sit there and point at flaws, and you can choose which acre of the 15 out here that I bury you in
But seriously, if you want to come out and hang out its fine with me. I know Hammer, and Crazyblazer will be out here quite a bit now working on their stuff.
