I am in the process of puttin together a 3800 series 1 sc with a 4 speed transmission the problem I am having is the exhaust cross over pipe hits the shift cable brackets and I was wanting to know what to do next I am lost. I have series 2 firebird manifold but I don't think they would fit and I don't know anybody that still makes stuff for series 1 anymore so I was wanting to know what do I do next?

Or just read this part. It should work on a Series 1


I modified my setup using a replacement bracket from Rodney Dickman. Follow his directions but mount the new piece at the required angle and your done. $35.00 and no welding required. Been driving mine for 2 years now and the screw fasteners are still holding up.
