Looking for a unrestored/core 1971 340 manual trans Carter Thermoquad Part 4972S. Cash or trades. Thanks for the ad!

That really sucks! Thanks for warning people.

I too only have experience with 70-71s but seem to recall hearing that later seats had only the one outboard adjuster track. I used white lithium grease, which I believe matched what the factory did on seat sliders and window tracks.

That sucks, but glad it will be handled by ABC. How did you like how it turned out otherwise?

@strycker @Vaanth I always appreciate Vaanth’s detailed and informative responses. In this case, I disagree on the 70 vs 71-72 positioners. I believe the later 3461770 and 3461771 parts had the raised area around the holes and are correct for 71-72 applications. Here’s a pic of a some NOS...

It’s in the car now, but when I was restoring it I measured and it matched Galen’s White Book description.

Second pic

The part number and date codes are stamped about 24 inches from the rear joint. Here's a pic of the original from my T/A with the 2883782 number with a C 70 date code. Trans Am cars (and some others I believe) had 7260 u-joints in front and 7290 in the rear.

71-later consoles have an ashtray. 70 consoles have a slotted opening at the rear that provides storage for the shoulder belt female ends.

@Gary Warnsholz This should help

These might work: https://www.classicindustries.com/product/mn3161.html?srsltid=AfmBOop0A4WClATpDAM6K56NDQVgErx8W736apraboLYiqG8lJitHnjY

Here are some more pics of the shorter style that is correct for E-bodies and others.

I’ll be interested to hear what year those straps showed up. Not a 70-71 thing as far as I know.

AMK carries a variety of plastic straps. I’m guessing you can find them elsewhere if you can figure out what they’re called. https://www.amkproducts.com/bulk-fasteners-products/?Product_ID=13201
