Thanks for all the info in Sept/Oct when I first got the car.
Here you can see it w/ new top.. also has new hydraulics and cables, etc.
Now the real fun begins. Some may recall this is a pb auto, but I want manual like mine was.
Also mine has a later (early 70s?) slant w/ different carb and actually has 2 acclerators (!) with original disconnected. But car runs well... gone as far as 25 miles from home.
So I have found a parts car w/ 3 tree in black and slant complete (other wise really rough).
I had some counsel here to do a 4 /floor but those are rarer, most often paired w/ a V8, and mainly I learned here there is no rpm advantage... it's the same rpm @ 60 in top gear. The 4 floor just divides the shifting range up. Is this correct? Only downside to 3 tree is that there can be linkage problems that 4 floor (on tunnel) does not have.
Still haven't gotten a price from the guy on the work , but gotta start somewhere.
Other than that, the rebuilt radio just came back so going to install now and add an Audiovox FM converter just like I had in early 70s.
