No
problem Ron. In fact, I just did the final updates on the trans
install. It was quite an ordeal, but I probably made it harder than it
needed to be with the new console, and all the other stuff I was/am doing at the
same time. So far I've only made one test drive and it seems to shift ok,
a bit stiff/notchy, but it is brand new so I'm hoping it smooths out once I get
some miles on it.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Hotchkis springsJust looking fr some insights...I just installed new a new spring and Baer disc on one side (driver) of my '66, but I'm not getting the drop I was expecting. I've got a big block (iron heads) so I ordered the big block springs. The Baer kit was a bolt on to the factory drum spindals. It measures 15 1/2 inches from the floor to the bottom of the front bumper (the hood is off, but it shouldn't matter that much). Maybe it will drop a bit more once I get the other side done, but I doubt it.Should/can I swap to B body (or aftermarket) spindals? Does anyone know if my baers will bolt on ok? Or should I cut the springs or order the ones for the bb with aluminum heads (though long term I plan on getting a set of new heads)?Other news- my tremec 5 speed is in route! Can't wait to get my hands on that thing. Herb, thanks for the play-by-play on your web site. It's given me a good idea of what I'm getting into.Ron
