Hello, I have been helping my father in law work on a 65 Dart GT.
Long story short: We took out the Slant 6, rebuilt a 318 and dropped it in, along with an auto Trans (A904) from a '72. That being said, we've started the car (sounds great) but we are having issues with the shifter. The car has the original 65 floor shifter, with a new B&M cable and bracket going to the trans. We can either get the car to shift Park,Reverse, Neutral, or adjust and get Neutral, Drive and no Park or Reverse.
My question is - Is this just an adjustment issue, where there is a sweet spot we are missing or is there something else that we just don't know about? Kind of funny to go through the whole process and not being able to shift right on an automatic.
Thanks!
