I've been tinkering with the tach some more. It seems the tell tale needle is pretty sticky, if I hold the reset button I can get it to move almost like it should. I put a tie wrap around the tach to hold the button in for now, I'll drive it around some more and see how I like it. I have both tachs in the car right now, the jones in front of the autometer, and I can see most of both dials. Strange.
I swapped out the gears today, took a little over an hour to change the third member. I also noticed some drips near the trans....and discovered I forgot to tighten the pan bolts! two of them were missing. ugh.My fabulous web page

I scored a pair of chrome steel slot wheels! I think they're 15x8, haven't had a chance to clean them up and measure yet. With some old Kelly Super Charger N50-15 tires.My fabulous web page

They're a couple weeks past their expiration date....I'll probably end up putting new radials on these wheels if I decide to use them.My fabulous web page

I was poking around and found a pair of original chrome valve covers off a 396. They're in so-so condition...but they look like they might not leak after beating on the flanges for a while, and the chrome mostly cleaned up with steel wool. I tried one on for size, the easy side, and it fits. I guess I'll do the hard side next. I might pull the heater out too, while I'm in there. And swap the ignition coil, I also found one of the old Mallory square ones.
I'm also going to see about getting a flexible upper radiator hose. And I might order a pair of blower pulleys if I sell enough crap on ebay to pay for them. I think I'll get some 275/60 15 drag radials, to put on the chrome slot "Astro" wheels. Then I won't have to deal with changing tires at the track, and I won't have to endure the exciting handling that the slicks give over 100 mphMy fabulous web page

what a diff with that little bit of chrome...looks great.If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark DonohueComment

I have to put the battery back in, and figure out where to put the coil, etc. But compared to a lot of cars, yeah, it's roomy.My fabulous web page
