Everything you need to make the conversion - all custom made. Hence the price.... If the car is slow with the present 4 speed 'box - it's going to be even slower with a 5 speed 'box!! Fix the engine.

Too small for a 1275! It will run - but will be down on potential power.......

Have you set the distributor timing up correctly?
