    Someone was saying on a post that I can use full lenght heeders with a automatic calunm shift, if so whats the conversion kit for this? I talked to hooker heeders and they say I have to remove all of this and install a floor shifter.. It would be cool to keep the calunm shift and be able to use long tube heeders!Pictures would be great..Thanks

    Mine has long tube headers and had a functioning column shift when I bought it. Just had the factory steel linkage as far as I could tell. Worked fine.

    Ward, I was told by the experts that my set-up would not work, so I removed the information from the board so as not to mislead people.:rolleyes:
