I got the trans back in permanently. I saw where the marks were and popped it with a hammer. Then repainted the floor. It fit this time with the factory sized mount. I got the wiring for the overdrive done. I wasn't keen on the shifter ball being the switch. I sat in it with the ball in my hand. So I am a playbaby when I drive. the button and wire agravated me. So I am going with the white fatory 4 speed pattern ball. I put the leds for the overdrive and the switch on the console. Next to the seat. Easy access for me and i can see it if i want to. I took off today xmas family stuff you know and so forth.
I did hook everything up and had a multimeter on the soliniod wires. Turned it on and off. spun the speedo sensor with a drill. Red LED turned to Green like it should and 12v to the solinoid leads.
Being a boat builder I am corrcting a 60's oversight with cup holders that hold actual cups. Making a insert for the console. Has 2 cup holders easily removed. Using black boat cup holders. Close the lid out of sight out of mind. Or take it out and it is sill factory looking.
I made metal braces for everything on the console. 7 screws holding that puppy down it is solid.
