The Bentley manual is the best manual to get, by far. Hope that's what you got. > Thanks Jim, for helping me with the shifter issue.

That one should never get rusty. > Between that and it looking like I should replace the pans, That's a MAJOR job. You might want to just look for a body in better shape before you get yourself too invested in this one.
