    I started at the front of the door closest to the hinges and worked my way back. I did tuck all extra length into the area behind the 1/4 glass. There is no place to secure it so about 6-8" just sits back there. I included a picture but it is kind of sketchy. I hope it helps.

    The axle was a geared at 3.23. I thought I had 2.73's until I cleaned the housing. I had all ready purchased new 3.23 gears with an Auburn limited slip differential. Axle was completely rebuilt. Hard to find a crush sleeve for an 8 3/4.

    Also, I had to use a step drill bit to enlarge the holes on the firewall for the new break booster. The placement of the bolts that poke through the firewall are also in slightly different positions up to 3/8 of an inch off. No big deal if you have a good step drill bit.
