I think that everyone knows about oil pan issues for our cars. I purchased a Moroso 20760 pan for my Coronet after being told by Summit that they were reworked to fit 62-65 chassis. The notch at the back of the sump looked like it was going to do the trick. Anyway, after buttoning everything up, I found that the center link barely touched the bottom of the pan. I just finished modifying the center link by taking a piece of 1" mild steel rod, heating and bending the ends to conform to the original, and after prepping both pieces, mig welded the new piece to the bottom of the original. I kept the new piece 1" shorter per sede than the distance between the pitman arm and idler arm holes. After tack welding, I cut out the original piece and finished the welds. Now I have 1" between the pan and center link, no binding, and most importantly, stock steering geometry. I took some photos if anyone is interested.
