Re: help..
On the tie rod adjuster, I would give CPP a call. They have billet aluminum ones to adapt just about anything to anything and they look/work way better. They helped me out with a similar issue.

Re: help..
This seems to be the problem with suppliers like that. I'm not dissing you for what you bought, but it makes me happy to know that what I bought from ECE was all designed to work with OEM stuff.
But, swapping parts and making stuff work is what hot rodding is all about...and always has been.
