No, actually I immediately brought it to the machine shop for them to check.Ended up cutting it .010/.010 and then balancing it. The machinist was amazed at how well it cleaned up. It's running in Gramma's Firebird now.

I'd say that shifter has changed a few gears in its life. Also, good old oven cleaner to get rid of gunk.

Welp, there's something I'll have to do to my grandfather's come spring. Whole car looks amazing!

Does anyone know the significance of the &quot;D&quot; that is stamped on some shift rods. I have had many sets of 69 Z rods and most 1-2 and 3-4 rods do not have any stamping at all, I do find the reverse rod has the 5771 stamp. I have 1 set of 69 Z rods that does have the &quot;D&quot; stamped on each one.

I have many sets of 69 Z rods also and none of the 1-2 and 3-4 rods have any stamping at all. I have found the reverse rod stamped with 5771 or a &quot;D&quot; stamp.

Darrell -- I don't know how you are derusting the driveshaft ... but I put the a driveshaft into a length of 4&quot; PVC pipe, capped up one end and filled with Evapo Rust. Excellent results. TAZ

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
 

Be careful with the rust remover stuff on the brake booster. It will remove the original zinc plating (or what's left of it).

Re: Preservation Project - Green Machine
 

Wow, that thing sounds good. Man, I need to get my grandfather's back up and running. It's got a real bad draw on the battery. Not sure what's causing it.

Thanks.
