You're welcome! LOL, I'd love to come and help, but that's really far and I'm even trying to find time to finish my own build. Looks like you're on the right track so far, you'll love it when it's done! Again, if you have questions, send a PM.

[hotrodstu77]

london isnt that far if your gonna come spend the day here. and another swap question, is it a speed sensor or speed cable in the earlier rb's? i know mine is an older one as i dont have the RB20 stamp on my timing cover. i was sure it was a sensor but my buddy is telllin me its a cable.

They're cable. Put your KA speed sensor in, it just bolts into the RB tranny.
