Rob,
I second what Jim Renardy said about the flat traveler. I replaced the traveler on my '85 two years ago with a flat traveler I bought from Catalina Direct. It is a Garhauer and the only thing I would do different is to buy direct from Garhauer. I believe the price would be the same. The traveler is absolutely great, works great under any loading.

I did this about 6 years ago and have never regretted it. My curved traveler was basically unusable, I can recall kicking the car to get it to move under any load. The Garhauer has been great, it always moves under any load. I would highly recommend the upgrade.
