Is this too close for comfort? (see pic). Steers fine for last 10yrs, (approx 1,000miles/yr) but I'm wondering how can I measure if there is any pressure on the linkage? I can move the linkage by hand but can't put a piece of paper between them. Is there anything I can do, other than changing out the pan to fix this or is this normal? The engine is a 1969 440, replaced before I got it. I guess the 69 440 has a deeper oil pan than the stock 1970 440 HI-PO it came with? Anyone know? Thanks for the info.
Thanks guys. The air cleaner has about 1/2" clearance from hitting the hood so I'm thinking the oil pan is incorrect. I didn't know there was a difference between a 1969 440 and a 1970 hi-po 440. Seems odd so I'll have to research it.
