would anyone happen to have a picture of the upper steering shaft inside the engine bay?
I think something may have fell off due to when we put on the headers,

here is my issue, I went looking inside the engine today and noticed there was something missing, and looks like i am correct, this rod is not there now, when we put the driver side header in i think we hit the cable or something and put it in Netural, and it seems to be in every gear correct I got under it and checked. so I would assume if this cable or whatever its called isnt on i cant start it?

by thepossumface Tue May 14, 2013 12:21 am

haha, but now any idea what that rod is called so i can pull up a diagram on it and see if I made it fall somewhere or would that be the colum shifter for colum shift cars?

by Limey SE Tue May 14, 2013 12:25 am

yup that's what it is buddy

by thepossumface Tue May 14, 2013 12:28 am

Its in bucket seat cars to. It goes from the tab on the column to the shifter lever on the trans.

Limey
And
Possum that arm is adjustable. Its in 2 pieces , there is a bolt at the intersection of the 2 pieces.

i think i found my issue the wires are on the wrong side of the starter, I ran a 12v from battery to the other side of the starter and it spun over but i didnt crank it all the way

by thepossumface Tue May 14, 2013 11:03 pm

hey did you ever get that pic of the rod? i tried my starter and I guess thats not it...

well I fixed it somwhow, im not sure what i hit but it worked enough to fix the car in running order now I think i should put some mufflers on my car cause straight headers sound cool untill i get pullled over haha
