I have a t-56 that I installed, all the bolts lined up fine, but i am having problems with my speedo cable being too short. now my friends tell me that it doesnt matter how fast i'm going and I agree with them on that, but I do alot of highway driving and I need to know how fast I'm going. Another problem I ran into was a set of vacuum hoses close to the firewall on the passenger side. It has 3 or 4 vacuum lines to a central hub and then 1 white vacuum line to the EGR, I was wondering if anyone knew something about this.
