I'm running the Munice, cause I've already got it it the car. I would go with a T56 but it most likely wouldn't fit without some major adjustments to the tunnel. I'll see where it goes, the mpg's will be what they are at the start, butt like everything else nothing is ever done.

The OBD plug would have been located under the dash so I don't know if you would get one with an engine harness. Grab a plug from the junk yard and wire it in to the serial data line off your harness. (I think it needs power and a ground-I'll check my schematics when I get to the garage) The faq section has lots of wiring info but also check Autozone's web site. Go to auto repair section and look for wiring diagrams. Lots of diagrams broken down to the different car sections and different years. Helped me a lot! I'm running a T-56 in my Rambler. With an f-body pan and the engine tight to the crossmember (notched slightly) and back to the firewall, I had to cut out most of the tranny tunnel. Those 6 spds are big! If your engine is any higher, you may bump your elbow on the tranny!

My car is from cali. so cutting anything has not been in the plan. I was at about 15 mpg w/ the 327 that i had in the car. On eBay the connector is like $13 so no big deal really, but does anyone know what the wire colors are?
