Yes but you might consider an aftermarket set-up. Stronger and more reliable. many on the market out there. OE exterior is or should be the same, the interior is the only difference and it's the gears. Race cars use a "quick gear exchange" set up if you want to change gears to fit your moods.

Hey all. I have a 1975 Corvette C3. I just did something stupid. I pulled my alternator to have it checked; however I did not disconnect the battery. As I disconnected the battery cable from alternator, it arc'ed badly. After having the alternator checked, upon reinstalling it, I have no power at all. I'm trying to determine which fuse, or relay, or whatever I have blown. Any help is appreciated. I do not have a fuse box layout. Thanks Apostle Smith 2 Answers
