Keep trying Robert. I've come to learn that patience is the number 1 thing to have with these cars. Since they're ponchos to begin with and have the "first generation" 389 they're very difficult to work on at times. Lots of custom work to do ANYTHING.
When I put the 350 transmission behind the engine I didn't realize it would cost me $500 for an adapter plate and I would have to make custom linkage for everything. Just takes some extra time and a LOT of patience.
You'll get it on the road, it'll just take some more persuasion.
