He does not have the firewall plate..

Quote from: Ebay SellerI do not have the firewall plate unforunately. I did not intend this to go into a W-body, so I didn't grab the plate.

good eye

I forgot- why exactly do we need the firewall plate?  Something about the clutch mc?

The clutch master cylinder, and the power brake booster if you are swapping them I think..

Other than the firewall plate, does everything needed for the 5spd swap look to be in this auction?

As long as you use the Buy it Now option, otherwise he is selling the extra parts at a per part cost. Not sure how much that is. But the Firewall plate is REQUIRED to do the swap.

pretty sure Dave swapped his cutlass without a plate.....

Oh yea, you have to swap the plate if you are swapping the breaks, but if you arent, you can punch the hole into the old plate. Am I on the right track here?

       Yes you are now. Because I used the same firewall on my swap, I guess I just wanted to keep the Proir rebuilt PMIII in. And if not it would have been $700 down the drain, but yes there is a thread that shows you how to make that hole properly,just keep looking under      5 speed threads till you find it.
