I could grind some around the housing but the threaded adjuster with the jam nut hits also. Might talk to firm feel about a j body box also I already have a rebuilt ff box from steer &gear but if the later style box is smaller around the sector dome I guess i'll have to buy one. p.s. # 2 tube hits the idler arm also I think the pitman will clear but it's close. Thanks for the info I'm going to stay patient and make this happen without if I can.
