YES 5.9 Magnum manifolds work in early A bodies. Here is exactly how!

Hold up.....you sure about that? Were talking a 65, not a collapsible shaft. There are no plastic globs in there and the shafts are physically longer within the columns in the manuals to compensate for the shorter boxes. The steering wheel position does not change between manual or PS so it cant be a shaft adjustment. Here is a 65 power shaft I extended to a manual, note distance between dimples of the old cut shaft and the manual extension I hacked from a yard shaft. Its about 2.5"

Oh. You’re probably right, there. I missed the fact that it’s a 65. I’ve only ever messed with 67+ stuff myself.
