Hi Jerry , another thing I was considering is to add a length or readi rod to the bar , and then it can be adjusted to any length I wanted.But I think you are talking the flat plate piece that is bolted right to the trans that actualy does the shifting?If so , that should be fairly easy to modify something to work on it also.I'm not sure if I have that extra piece around for an alt , I'd have to look.I've been pulling pieces off as I need them.The wiring is actualy pretty easy on the engine , the wires only fit on certain parts.As for the main harness on the wheel well , I marked what plugs go where , even though some were color coded.
