I just want everyone to know the TKO600 went in with no cutting other than the shifter hole. Mockup on the ground said I could run the PF24 but I can’t because of the control arm pocket so I need the shortest filter that is made if anyone can tell me. Also the Canton dipstick may not work so if anyone knows a Lokar flexible that will thread into the oil pan I would appreciate the info. Plus I need a clutch pushrod that is longer than 7 inches. Other than that I am exhausted.

At least you had great weather today to work on her. (I gor stuck cleaning up tornado damage. With all these storms, will I ever have time to finish up my Pontiac?) Glad you were able to make some really good progress today.

The diagram in the manual shows the clutch return spring hooked to the clutch fork and to the bracket on the exhaust manifold. For those of you running headers what are you hooking the spring too?

Lost 5 HP today. Had to use a Ford 351 Windsor dipstick because it was the only one I could find that came out in the right place from the pan fitting thru the headers. The bracket was wrong so I still have to fab up one to clench it to the valve cover stud.

Gotta come out for clutch reconfig but boy it sure is pretty

Looking to get clear on a TKO 600 being installed in a 64 A body and not requiring any tunnel mods. Realize this was early in your build and with over 2000 posts to this thread you may have determined that you did need to modify your tunnel in order to get the proper pinion angle. Which cartoon closely resembles your pinion angle.
