69 Breakdown Almost complete questions moving forward

BB, are you referring to an automatic or manual shifter? This car has an auto trans.

 

Auto trans. Assuming that his '69 is like my '71; the shift lever out of the side of the column does not go directly to the transmission, has a countershaft. The inner end of that shaft pivots on a stud that screws into the side of the block, just above the oil pan level. The boss with the threads is missing on the later block.

 

I see. It does make sense from a design and parts standpoint, but with how much the engine and trans rolls every time you goose the gas, I would think the manual valve would get moved.

 

Well -- the countershaft is a very loose fit on both end points, and the pivots are exactly at crankshaft level. It works -- well enough. My car may be suffering from old & stiff mounts, they allow very little movement of the motor.

 

Sounds like me and my knees.

 

Are there any companies out there that make a front suspension kit like Heidets kits for the Chero? I couldn't find any but If they made it for the Torino maybe the Fairlane for that year maybe it would fit. I assume the don't make them because of the shock towers but I seen the T.C.P product that eliminates the towers. Its most likely over kill but I was just curious as of now I plan on getting on the rebuild stuff from the PST website

 

I think I might have answered my own question .... http://rcmotorsportsinc.com/rc-106-mod/ this looks pretty sweet and not bad for the price. If I did something like this I might just throw a coyote 5.0 motor in the Chero....HMMMMM

Well I cannot purchase that exact motor because its a sealed racing motor but the one just like it. M-6007-M50AK which comes with the computer pack

 

Im partial to the original color, myself. -Cindy
