My other Early A ---65 Dart post
Had to cut a small piece off the end of the shifter bracket. It was pushing right on the trans bellhousing and I was worried it might crack something since the engine\trans vibrate on their mounts . Then I cut the welds between the pivot shaft and arm. Now have to get it into position and attach to the steering column. The frameside of the brackets fit pretty close to the holes that were already there.
