    Sorry bout that guys. I've been messing with it all day its just every tight and the metal bracket that holds the clips for the O2 sensors was getting in the way. Thought I didnt have the clutch plate dead on but im pretty sure ill get it in now.

    But I did buy some Lincon Mark heads complete with timing assembly upper and lower intake throttlebody and and other things for 350 tho. Think of putting the 4v heads on her soon. I know this will be a big job but I picked up the parts real cheap so i figured it was something to look into and it opens the doors to alot as far as boost. Any ideas?

    You need to use a clutch alignment tool for the clutch disk...then tighten down your pressure plate to the flywheel. If you don't do that, you won't be able to get the tranny lined up.

    Yeah i have the pressure plate torqued to 12 pounds and It is aligned, figures my problem was the bracket that holds the 02 sensor plugs ended up wedged between the tranny and block in a spot i couldnt see it. Things are all sorted out now thanks thoo!

    that bracket is for your upstream 02's....if you somehow disabled those you're going to be sorry. LOL

    You can remove the bracket though.
