<VV> 110 PG swap ~ "Plan B" -> 140 PG (GM manual 4-5?)

[Charlie]

Yes "Plan A" was "110 PG" --> "140 4-speed" but the cops forced a quicker
move.

All that the cop wants/needs is to see it run and move under its own power,
or the town tows it away (at great expense.)

So, "Plan B":
Without all the parts for "Plan A," switch to "Plan B" : put the 140 on the
PG as a quicker option to make him happy (and go away?)

Then the TQ snagged me getting the mangled 110 out, and here we are ...

VV was a great help getting me un-snagged (the TQ bolts) which I'm doing now
... 

Matt Nall: I have the 65 GM manual (section 4-5) but I couldn't find the
caveats you guys gave me ...

Charlie

I am confused! I thought Charlie wanted to convert this car to a 4 speed. I
am starting to think this is all too hard. Timothy Shortle in "a state of
confusion" (Durango Colorado 81301)
