So I got the transmission pan and new cables all back on.
Here is the old and messed up linkage
New Cables and brackets
After taking the pan off again because the detent? stuck. Turns out I didn't have the transmission in park and hooked up the linkage in the wrong spot. You can see the new shift cable bracket
New speedo cable, reman'd housing and new gear. Conversion trans mount for the 70 trans in the 65 Coronet.
New shift cable and kickdown setups on the trans. oh and rerouted battery cable for the starter. While the car was at my brother's he burned up the original starter so we put in a smaller starter he had given me. The original cables had to route thru the header and was leaning on the steering shaft with the new starter, so I decided to reroute the wiring and replace them. Good thing I did because the old power connections cover was breaking away right at the starter connection.
The new trans pan. Extra 3 1/2 quarts. The new kickdown cables run around the back of the trans and up and over the middle top of the case up to the new brackets by the carb. I also had to get the transmission cooling lines setup and adjusted to make sure there was room for everything. I'll get the trans lines hooked together for now so I can make sure the trans and new cable-ling all works.

I just hooked some trans hose between the transmission lines at the front and was about to fill er up with trans fluid when I looked over at the workbench and noticed something I forgot to put back in. 
Holy Sh1t!!! Pull the pan of AGAIN 
in the next couple days. Need to get a trans cooler ordered too. Don't know how I forgot that either. Crap.

Got the vacuum pump sorted out . I used a relay and activate that from the hot side of the ignition switch.

It's quiet and cycles on when vacuum drops below 15". My config has a tee to the manifold which includes the check-valve so if the engine or the pump dies, my booster still functions. This is a 383 with 9:1 CR and too big of a cam.
Big improvement. In traffic or panic stops from 50 mph and I never have that "oh crap!" feeling......

Final wiring is finished today on my ragtop. EVERYTHING works as it should. Need to get the A/C lines built, and I can proceed with final assembly of the front grill/bumper, top, and interior. I'll start on it again, once August is over. I'm currently working on my 72 `cuda.
Did you go with an AVS2?
BPE has nice stuff. I'm using Lokar for the kickdown. Pretty much the same design. I like how BPE mounts everything to the carb.

Close one. I installed the deep pan too, either B&M or Derale I don't remember which. Like that it has a bung for adding a temp gauge. Coupled with a stacked-plate cooler, the trans doesn't go above 185* with a 3,000 stall converter.I just hooked some trans hose between the transmission lines at the front and was about to fill er up with trans fluid when I looked over at the workbench and noticed something I forgot to put back in.

Primered and painted the K frame. Drilled holes for the master cylinder and backing plate, the close out panels and the radiator/trans cooler. Cleaned up and primered the pop up gas cap base well.

After getting the rear end/suspension and a complete front end back under mine after my divorce, it got shoved it into the enclosed trailer and closed the door. Now the only time I see it is when I need something from the trailer and that's not very often
I can't wait to see this machine done. It's one thing to put together a car with orginal parts, but to build what's in your mind is art.
