Welcome from Pennsylvania - have fun with your new Toy / I went RB on my replacement after pulling the 318, to each their own choice, that's part of what makes them fun - enjoy !

Wife ? Got rid of her in '96 ! More room for tools

If you start adding up everything there, you probably would blow past $1300 faster than you think - pilots & stone holders/stones, dresser ! From 1 picture it appears in great condition ? If you were in the market that's something I would go after, I see seat grinders alot and they look like...

Needs set up right like every other system, HV pump and small pan with the wrong sump, not draining back into the pan fast enough - could starve the pump @ high rpm or just suck a little air ? Better to be safe and not wipe bearings out and start over - 1/4" - 3/8" is probably fine , I could...

Ditto - find a good upholstery guy - i had a friend make a complete interior including extra trim work in the trunk , installed the convertible top, made a boot - they can do anything for you ! Good Luck - * after years of a total resto, that might have been the best day when I stopped to...

Definitely not cheap, unless it's one of the no-name aftermarket columns ! I actually had a New Yorker tilt/telescopic from a car i parted out & a buddy was helping out and - well, it went to the scrap pile and was gone before I knew about it - I'm not in a hurry, was hoping for feedback on...

I'm not particularly worried about looking original, I don't want it butchered into the car - or people having issues with the mechanics of functioning, columns aren't really too much of a visual part of a car other than if you want chrome I guess ? They are 1 of the bigger AF ones available, I...

Thx, I'll look into those or call and see what they have for my '65 - nice mounting bracket, don't remember that , they must've changed since last I looked around

Moving shifter to the floor, anyone have good/bad time switching with particular brands or getting correct brackets etc. - customer service ? I want tilt column, probably no key but searching for the best route if anyone has been down this path ? Thx Dan

Most of the older mopars are the same as GM because they used Saginaw - the only thing to do is measure & count the splines ( check if any where on the splines is a heavy spot, like a keyway ) , make sure what your specs are

Cam movement will put stress on the gear drive mesh - wear & tear , timing fluctuations

Torrington is best - a Good one ! Button for sure and stock cover ? Definitely reinforce inside and keep it @ a tight clearance I've seen where it rubbed a hole actually in a stock cover - do it right the 1st time

That's a beautiful pan ! On clearance, I would never have my p/u touching the floor of the pan - if you would hit the pan it definitely could put a crack at a weak point or - say the p/u tube is plenty strong, the conversation might come back to - block is cracked at the tube insert threads...

Max Wedge ? They're not perfectly square like that , could be an aftermarket race size port ?

it would be size of space in your pan sump - like you noted , if the pan is baffled or room for doors to swing
