I have a powerglide and I use a cable type Hurst auto ratchet shifter. If your limited on room and dont get any advice, Id call B&M or Hurst to see what they have for confined spaces. HG

Hello.
Im new to the forum and thought Id introduce myself and my project.
My name is Rod and Im 38 years old. My car is a 5 year project and is a 73 prostreet Gremlin. Its fully tubbed with 18.5 inch rear tires, 4 point cage, 2 speed glide, racing seats, guages n tach, fuel cell and all the goodies.
The engine is a freshly bored 030 over 350 Chevy with a factory steel crank n rods, Speed pro blower pistons, 465-485 X 279-280 cam @ 114 degrees of lobe seperation. Edelbrock Alluminum rpm heads. Steel balancer, Weiand 6-71 blower with 2 Edelbrock 500cfm carbs, milidon water pump, MSD distributor with MSD box, rev limiter and boost retard.
The kit came with pullies that produce 10-12lbs of boost and I have right at 8-1 comp ratio.
Im told that with alluminum heads its like having 7-1 comp ratio. Ive also been told that with my setup and with the boost retard that I can run pump gas, but the chart has me at about 12.7-1 at 12lbs of boost???
I was told that with my cam n heads that it should bleed off and make less boost and since its a street drivin ride and will only see 5800-6000 rpms that I'll be OK. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, HG
