    Yes, I have used the search. Answers for alot of other models but I didn't see any about sbf's in A's. I've got a 69 block with a Fairmont double sump pan on it. Is this the pan I need? I'm going traditional steering with split A bones. Thanks,

    I had a front sump pan on my model A. but I believe front, rear, or double hump will work. The tie rod and drag link should be in front of the engine with cross steer and with side drag link ,not an issue. One thing to be aware of is the oil filter potential interference if you use a Vega box or other cross steer box.
