Are there not many who switch from man. to auto. transmissions. I painted my 75 a couple of days ago, and would like to do that next if I can find anybody in my area to swap with,so my wife can drive it too.

Yep, I'm one of the few. I did my '76 when it had less than 10k on it. I did it in one weekend. Fire me an email if you have any specific questions and I'll tax my memory for you.

I don't need a 4 speed but I have everything you need except the console and flexplate for $250.00 and freight if that would help.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just teach the lil' lady to drive a stick?
