The photobucket pics show a clockwise speedo. Are these not the latest pics?
Did you also replace the shifter?
Are the wheel widths the same 7.5x15 front and back?
Tire sizes are different? What sizes? Good tread?
It appears that the stopwatches are screwed to the dash?
KB "forged" or "hypereutectic pistons? Dished?
Eagle "I-beam" or "H-beam" rods?
Cams specs?
Canton "front" sump oil pan?
Edelbrock "Windsor" or "Cleavor" aluminum heads?
What part# MSD distributor?
What brand aluminum water pump? Have pics of this area?
Dual remote oil filters? Have pics of this area?
"Hydraulic" clutch throw-out bearing or mechanical with "slave"?
What size clutch?
What rearend ratio?
It looks like it has the current style rear housing to chassis center-rear struts, but retains the earlier rear trailing arms?
Have pics of the trunk?
No top or tonneau it seems?
Glass or plexiglass wind wings?
15" steering wheel?
Thanks,
