I'm wanting to run manual, but I don't see any options in terms of '73 manual MCs. Is my only option to use a power MC with a manual pushrod? 1968 Plymouth Fury III 2dr FT, 383-4v, 4 speed 1972 AMC Ambassador SST wagon 360-4v, automatic 2014 Challenger R/T Classic 6-speed

Look for one with a 15/16" bore if you can. Also if you are going with manual brakes make sure you have a manual brake pedal set up. The pedal ratio is different power to manual. Kevin

I had a hunch they were all about the same, but I wasn't sure if the mounting differed from body to body. As for the pedal setup, part of the allure of a manual setup is that my car has manual drums already. Well, that and I don't want to have to worry about pulling enough vacuum. 1968 Plymouth Fury III 2dr FT, 383-4v, 4 speed 1972 AMC Ambassador SST wagon 360-4v, automatic 2014 Challenger R/T Classic 6-speed

That's why I was asking. I think I'm going to buy an A-body one. They seem to be more available. 1968 Plymouth Fury III 2dr FT, 383-4v, 4 speed 1972 AMC Ambassador SST wagon 360-4v, automatic 2014 Challenger R/T Classic 6-speed
