Hi Rick, I only installed the mat as the pics show, and realized substantial noise reduction. I tend to think the vehicle stays cooler also. Car still rips through the gears just fine, thanks! There is just nothing like rowing the gears on a Big Block Rag Top BUICK. I cant wait to put an OD trans in there like someone I know.....:beer. I talked with DK today; I'll call you as I would love to see DJ's car... Talk soon. MO
Hey Jim, yes, the bellhousing did have the adjustable ball and I did actually get it all set up, but, since Lakewood can not figure out to make a boot for the fork, I opted to remove it all and sell that scatter shield set up to Herb and stuck with factory set up as I will not be drag racing this car....
