Fred,

Lift the carpet on each side of fiberglass tranny cover and you will find sheet 
metal screws along the flanges on each side.  Maybe 3-4 to a side.  Remove 
these and voila!

As for other differences you will discover them in time.

I lost my 63 BJ7 to a whole house fire a number of months back. I owned my BJ7 
for over 30 years. I restored the car and it was beautiful. There was nothing I 
would not undertake on the car.

I have replaced my 63 BJ7 with a 66 BJ8. I do love the "new" car. There are 
differences between the cars and that is what I need help with. I need to clean 
the overdrive operating valve and then adjust the overdrive solenoid for proper 
operation.

My question is how do I remove the center console? I see the two screws on each 
side of the top of the console where it joins the dash but there is more to 
removing it. Where are there other screws/attachment points? Are there 
disconnects for the switches or do I just made a sketch of the wiring before I 
disconnect them?

I received just the ignition key when I bought the car. Is the ignition key 
supposed to operate the glove box and trunk? My key does not operate any of 
the. If not, I do not see numbers on the locks themselves so how and where do I 
get replacement keys. I also assume there is a separate key for the doors and I 
do not see a number on that lock either.



What other important differences between the cars that I should be aware of?


The list has been great with information and help in the past.


Thanks to all who reply.
