    It may sound primitive but if you burn out the rubber part of the bushing, you can use a hacksaw blade and cut through the steel sleeve and it will come right out. BTW the shackles on the early (75-76) cars are about 5/8" longer than the later cars (77-78) and they probably modeled your new...

    T-5 conversion

    Blue Thunder mentioning lightening the flywheel made me think of Smokey Yunick.

    Finally whats under my seat covers! And other shocking images.

    If her car is a '74 it won't have an auxillary tank. Possibly the filler neck grommet or even the vent valve grommet, if the tank doesn't have pin holes from rust. The grommets are available from SSC enterprises. $16 for the filler neck grommet and $8 for the vent valve grommet. Hope this helps.
