The conversion was designed for stock motor 57/58 Dodge and Plymouths and the test mule for the original kit was a Poly powered 57 Savoy with automatic. As my car is HEMI powered with a 4 speed there was some question if the kit would actually fit so I went straight to bolting the adapter plate to the steering gear and test fitting the unit using the 2 existing bolt holes......bypassing the first step in the instructions which call for drilling a 3rd in the frame for the adapter plate.

The gear HAS to go thru the access panel in the floor, then mounted from under the car.

The new steering gear cleared the exhaust manifold with a lot more clearance than the original manual steering gear. It was close to the bottom edge of the valve cover but did clear.
