66 dual snorkel air cleaner assembly
(Preview)
Trying to find out if this will fit a 350 SB with a 4160 Holley with a 66 winters intake. Not sure how the closed vent tube will line up with the valve cover vent hole, clearance with the hood, or accelerator rod. I also have a 3/8” insulator for the Holley carb.

Shift Linkage for 66 column to 2004R OD Trans
(Preview)
Has anyone done this or helped someone? The only think I've found so far is a universal kit from Shiftworks. It just a rod that you bend with a bracket for the trans and a bend to hook up to the column. I didn't find anything on the Loker site. classic-performance-products-universal-column-kit
