Thank you. As far as et's go.... the car ran in the mid 8's with the previous owner and similar horsepower. The gearing and converter are the same. most of the changes i have made to the car are for reliability and safety, not necessarily performance. My updates added probably around 150 pounds to the car, but im a little smaller than the other guy too. There is room for improvement on a few things. The carbs proved to be a bit of a limiting factor on the dyno. But im also at a point where tenths cost thousands, and for what is essentially still a bracket nostalgia car im not sure how much more im willing to commit to see every ounce of potential. as long as it drives straight and goes fast i will be happy.

spintech. he sells two kinds. he warned me that these would be loud. its basically just some baffeling in the oval tubing. the back half of the oval tubes is the muffler. its like a racing bullet. takes a little bit of the edge off, but doesn't quiet it very much.
In God we trust, all others pay cash.

shifter w/ air and terminator button. please excuse the missing door panel, working on a way to add small power window motors to the doors.
Absolutely a gorgeous car you have there! Congrats. Serious "street car" going on there.
My door X bars are right in the way of the window cranks so I also was trying to figure out a way to have power windows.
Looks like 66Dvert at FABO has figured it out. I would use a pair of switches mounted behind the shifter in the center of the car for mine.
