Just too add to that, since we are talking 5spd's is get the Hurst T-handle
with the thumb button. Press and hold to engage the linelock, release to go.
Used this type of setup on a 70' 340 Duster. But be careful, you'll toast a
clutch in no time! Not only that you can cause heat cracks on the
flywheel..big dollars to turn a flywheel, and busting engine mounts.
