    I also have 14" Cragar SS wheels that I'd like to retain. Did you use their power booster too? Worried about that clearing my headers but I definitely need to get rid of my single reservoir master cylinder. I suppose I could just use the brake kit and install my own dual reservoir master...

    My 273 turned out to be a 318...what did I buy?

    The hose on the passenger side is the fuel line to the electronic pump mounted to the frame rail out of view. The red wire is the feed to that pump. Certainly an opportunity to clean up the wiring. I appreciate all of your insight and time. This is so helpful for someone with limited...

The car is loud and leaks just about every fluid there is...but is guaranteed to...
