New guy - 68 Notch-back - 900 mile road trip!

Very nice car. I hope you have a good trouble free trip...

Welcome to FABO.

Not to knock your car, but let you know what I spot that is not "period correct" for that car:

That looks like the 70 and later radiator, not the original style 68 v-8 radiator.

The water pump pulley looks like the 70 and later style, the 68 style pulley is more bell shaped.

The fan and spacer don't look right to me - and no fan shroud...

The alternator should have a single pulley, not a double pulley.

There is a 4 pin ballast resistor, that year came with a 2 pin ballast. By using the 4 pin ballast resistor, you need to have all 5 pins for the ecu wired, where if the 2 pin ballast for electronic ignition which comes in the conversion kit only uses 4 pins from the ECU.

I would put a better set of spark plug wires on it also, those look old. Run 8 mm supression core...

What is that hose running across the firewall, under the heater hoses, above the blower motor, and wherever it goes to for???

The main positive wires look funny, going straight into the firewall where the windshield washer hoses come out of. I get suspicious of modified electrical wires, I've seen some real bad hack jobs.


Just a few things that you may be able to negotiate a lower price as it's not like the factory made it (if that matters to you...). I'm not sure if that will give you any problems, just letting you know what to keep an eye on just in case.


Awesome eye you got there!
I'll bring all that up when the cash is ready to trade !

Thanks!
