		Any real benefit to changing to a 5 speed?
		
		Already have the 3:34 rear end, was just hoping to get a little better mileage, 15-30 miles per tank equals about 1-1.25 gal which is about 3 bucks in savings per fill up, which i fill up about once a week, so it should only take me about a year to break even from the swap cost b4 i start to save money. By then the v8 sbc will be in there, then fuel mileage wont matter.

		I did mine for the mileage factor, but only gained 1-2 mpg more and i do 90% freeway driving, it is quieter on the hwy though because of the lower rpm.

		Does anyone use 'classic car auto insurance'?
		
		Haggerty here, had to have the car towed for a flat. They brought a flatbed and did not cost me anything. $30 a year for 5k agreed value

		So pumped...
		
		Congrats, on the manual. I will be doing a v8 swap also in a few months. Hey bart, what brand body kit and where did you get it from. I need one as my paint is great but road rocks are slowly destroying it. How do you like the fit, was the install easy.

		Brake booster ?
		
		Depends, i consider the right part something that will work just as well or better than the factory part. I am not restoring this thing so the correct factory part is not important and i refuse to spend over $400 for a nos part. Just thought someone at sometime has installed a different booster than the factory replacement and it was a bolt in deal. The only computer access i have is here at work and it is very limited for content, so i cant go to hybridz to see what they have come up with. Pep boy's says they can order one for the 74, so i may just go with that. Greg

		Brake booster ?
		
		I have a 74 260 with a bad brake booster and Autozone does not sell one for it. Is there a different year or model that will be a direct bolt in alternative. Thanks Greg

		New to the z and will have plenty of ?s
		
		I stripped the body down to the bare shell, It was pretty solid but it was a v8 car. The PO cut the rear quarters for bigger tires and just welded the quarter seams together, looked really bad. Since i dont have a computer that can do pics i wont feel comfortable selling them on ebay. I do have a ad in the classifieds here and on craig's list. Call me if you need anything. 817 202 7258 Greg

		Hagerty Ins. ?
		
		Love em, and you cant beat 30 bucks a year for 5k agreed value. They may have mileage restrictions but they have never asked me my mileage on any of my 3 cars.

		No pics, the only computer i can use is at work, and it does not have a program for pics. The parts car is going to the scrap yard today.

		Just bought my first zcar, it is a 74 260. Very solid car with newish silver paint, lowered (I think) with the Pana sport 16 inch rims and 205 55 16 tires. Only bad thing is it has a blue interior which i will change to black someday. Just bought me a 74 parts car that was setup with the JTR v8 swap kit and a black interior to help with my future plans. Just wanted to introduce myself before bugging you people with ?s. Look forward to learning from you, Thanks Greg
