To late got the radio in the underdash mount. Just saw it and had to grab it. The harness, extra bulkhead plugs and the converter $20!
 
Nice score Hops. luv the radio thingy.. I have an interior heater from Canadian Tire my father in law bought in the 60's. Found it in his basement

same size tires 275/70 18's - black ones have a +18 offset where the original one were +35. New wheels are also 9" wide instead of 8".. I kinda wish the new ones had a trim ring.. (never completely happy...LOL)

Anyone working on your Mopar today? Think I will do something on The Duster. Only going to around 80F here. Not sure if I will try to get the carpet done or continue with the bumpers. Hmm

Good evening folks (if anyone is around).

I had a great afternoon with the GTS after the bug guys came over and destroyed the yellow jacket ground nest. I took her out for a 2 hour cruise, the weather was perfect. Sunny, 75° with a nice breeze.

First, I can say without a doubt the fender braces make a HUGE difference in how the car rides and handles. Much firmer cruising, over rough roads and cornering is night and day better. I would recommend doing it to anyone with an A-body that doesn't have them.

I also spent a bunch of time fine tuning the carb and timing curve. She runs like melted butter now. Nice idle, smooth off-idle transition and the same coming of throttle. The power curve is about perfect now.

Here is a clip of her idling in the driveway. Like any good music, it's best when you listen through earbuds or good speakers...:)


 
I would have never thought the fender braces would make such a difference since they are so lightweight and thin but wow

I took them off to work on the car on my 75 so I guess I need to make sure they return to the engine bay

It's all about triangulation.
