I just put a 70-76 tank in my M38. If I were to do it again (got good deal on tank), I would put in a 76 to early 80's tank. The filler is on the...
I used pipe end caps (4), drilled hole for bolt and used them as a spacer (1"). Got info from this forum.

I put a chevy 283 in my m38 in the late 70's and am doing a frame up on it now. Had the same problem with the front drive shaft rubbing on the...
Sounds like I should remove the can and plug the hole as I do not have that type of air filter. Much smaller because of clearance between...

Just trying to plan ahead as I am installing a dual exhaust system on my M38 with a 283 Chevy engine. Do not have the overdrive at this time but...
