I added the kickdown bracket that is in the suggested parts for Chevy. For the cables and such, I can ask around locally, got some experienced guys around here.

Bro, you have helped me alot here. I wish I could return the favour some how.

Just another question, will my dash gauges still work or will I need replacements?

I already have an aftermarket tach, I would need the oil pressure, water temp and volts only.

I tried many times before, most of the threads were ignored if not all. Can't wait to pull the trigger on this conversion.
