From the donor car, one can pin-point where to spot-weld that cable tube to the inside of the hump. I had to cut two metal flaps into the hump to get access to where the weld spots would go. A welder came to my yard to do the spot welds. And I think I remember another little weld at the rear, where the cable tube comes out of the hump.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430258160896_35476" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430258160896_35501" dir="ltr">The cut-out metal flaps just got folded back down (with hammer) and sealed up.<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430258160896_35407" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1430258160896_35464" dir="ltr">As for pedals, '71 and '72 standard pedals fit where the Automatic pedals were.

I'm watching a 72 project one state away. It is an automatic. Since I
have a nicely sorted stand transmission drivetrain in my rusty 68, my
interest would be along the lines of fitting my drive-train into the 72.<br style="" class="">What would I be getting myself into?
