thx - their instructions are pretty lame and make it seem like the cylinder was up. Didn’t look right.

it was my youngest son’s first car as well, which is why it’s still taking up space in my shop! [emoji23]

Btw - the cylinder actually does go up! Weird. Image

That is weird. I've replaced many a hatch-back cylinder and the body is on the lower end. This may be because that puts the greasy shaft further out of reach?
1973 Bronco, 351 SEFI, Locked, discs, 35's ZF-5spd and Atlas 4spd. 235:1 Crawl Ratio. It may be ugly, but it's slow.
