Here's a new place for @SquareRoot to chronical all the posts of people asking for advice without telling us what we are working on. That way we can quit giving carbureated advice to TBI owners,700r advice to SM465 owners, 2wd advice to K owners etc.

Lol. The problem with that is it's usually committed by "drive by" posters looking for a quick answer because they're too lazy to Google it. As fast as they show up, they're gone, never to be heard again. I'm already on edge lately knowing a certain "teacher" is waiting for me to misspell something.

What is involved to switch from auto to manual

AUTO TO MANUAL I'm deciding the direction I was to take my 86 and just wondered how difficult/possible and what all would be involved to switch . Going kind of the shop truck, slightly above rat rod kind of thing. I already need new glass and interior panels. Honestly I need a new wiring...

That's good stuff to know should I go modern in the transmission, thanks.

If there was only a way to look up such facts, easily and in private.....

I guess this is a good example of why it's ok to ask a question that may be simple? But I guess a bunch of folks in an e-lodge may be no better than Google, lol.

So maybe the real answer is "measure for a driveshaft when you get the dang trans installed, newb" :rofl:
