thanks guys. tuning the carbs is my next step

thank to you both!

my 2 cents... i went with black undercoating because i am more worried about keeping the metal from rusting. if you can keep the water out.........

new cover for the spare tire. 1/4" masonite (tempered hardboard) from slum-depot. about $13 for a 4x8' sheet. also got the license plate light housing fixed and installed. trying to finish up all the small stuff while im waiting on parts

here is a close-up of the bracket t

no, that would make you the shell answer man

print shops dont charge that much. i had a 24" x 36" page of the wiring schematic printed for about $3. download to a memory car and they can print it for you

im sure it would be illegal, and a federal crime on top of that. no good deed goes un-punished

that pump looks kind of low.

i think thats a torino? not a challenger

Zed, you can get resistor or non-resistor cut-to-fit wires at summit. these are what i got since i have a radio https://www.summitracing.com/parts/tay-73055/overview/ and the crimper, which works very well https://www.summitracing.com/parts/msd-3503

thanks Site.

thanks. basically, i made an angle with a hole in the short side that the valve cover bolt goes through, then i zip tied the separators to the angle. the angles are maybe 3" on the long side, 1" on the short side and 3/4" wide

new plug wires (3rd set ) i like the routing better than over the valve cover. i made some brackets out of aluminum and used zip ties to hold the wires in place

i figured out the problem there. when i pulled the distributor apart to grease the centrifugal advance, i installed the part the rotor sits on 180* off. very easy to do

its funny that i dont have to get any testing down here. just pay my $86 and show proof of insurance

a local shop called industrial finish

just so you know, when you first fire that up, the header wrap will smoke like a train.

i dont know how the us dollar measures against your currency, but iirc, i paid about $30 for a container of guide coat. i used 1 and had too buy a second, but still have most of the second left.

the guide coat is a work saver. it is kind of spendy, but worth it. saves alot of time

just out of curiosity, how do you change the battery?

i hadn't though of ohming the plugs. ill check them just for grins and post the results. my friend did mention something about increased resistance with the "fine wire" type of plug

i have a buddy that drag races. he has been spot-on all these years so i tend to listen to his advice. he told me that the plugs would work fine with a msd type ignition system.

good luck

thank you
