I'm still wanting the 4 speed column when it comes available. I could swap my three speed if that would help.

Pinky, Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Bill,
Are you going to try and hook up a 5 speed manual transmission to the column? Sounds like a novel idea. If so, tell us more.

Actually I have a "top loader Imposter" It is a three speed plus overdrive transmission offered by Ford in the 70's. So basically it is a 4 speed with side mounted shift levers. A three speed only requires two shift rods from the column to the transmission. A four speed requires three. So if I start with a 4 speed column I am hopeful that I can make all this work.
