Re: AOD conversion

I have a n AOD in my 65 404. Used Lokar floor shifter and works great.Only had to fab the rear member. Do yourself a favor and use the new Lokar TV cable and brackets. Also go online to Monster Transmissions and watch the videos on how to set up. They used a 64 comet as a demo....Good Luck....Ron
