Thanks for the clear explanation and tolerating the dumb question, appreciate that. I haven't even taken a good look at that area in over 10 years and was going by my crappy memory.

The car is my GTX, but no fender tag/no build sheet/orig drivetrain blown up and gone many years before I got it/etc. So it's not a super-numbers car at all.......but on the other hand I'd want to keep the few numbers that it does have left intact although there ain't many.
