Ok, so for the first time since I updated my 72 to a side shifter I tried to put on the two small pieces of engine tin that go underneath the cylinders. One on pax side, one on the driver side.
Low and behold, my 72 piece (drivers side) does not fit anymore. Actually it still fits, but it interferes with the shifting once installed. Obviously the pax side has no issues. Is there a solution? I need a late model piece that won't interfere with the shift rod, but will mount to my 1.7L heat exhangers. thanks everyone!! |

The late model style bottom tin piece has a concave surface that extends upward toward the underside of the cylinders. This inverted "tunnel" shape allows room for the shift rod.
I can't say if will mount correctly to the 1.7 heat exchangers. I have 2.0 SS HE's and the bottom tin piece fits properly. |
