Well that was quick(delivery)I hope you can use the clutch/brake pedal also,it was just sitting on the shelf and I had no use for it.Hope all goes well for Victoria!
Thank you pettybludart :happy10: I sure will look at the brake peddle change out next to the throttle =P~
I got out this morning and put some heat on the engine and to get the humidity down
After the engine was good and warm ,and dried the air out some I shot it down with two light coats of high heat primer and waited about 15 minutes and shot it down again.
I read the instructions and it said to wait no more than 1 hour or then I would have to wait 24 hours.:glasses9:
So I let it dry for a good 45 minutes and it was real dry so I shot the high heat Chrysler red on. =P~
We have some wet weather coming in tonight and then it is suppose to get down to 48 degrees by tomorrow and 38 by Thursday.
So I went for it and got the one side shot with three coats.:happy10::happy10:
This looks much better =P~

Thank you j-miller 8) It sure is fun getting under Victoria.:love7:
Well the / throttle system is out, and I should have put ear plugs on :toothy10: I got an ear full of sand from the last time I drove here 8)
Yep the sun popped out and I thought I better start the throttle system install, But uninstall had to be first so I could do some measuring and location.
Yep =P~ I am so proud of the deal that pettybludart gave me on the pedal and cable system I bought from him :cheers: He did not tell me he sent the matching brake clutch pedal :happy10: He had $30 on it alone and he sent me both for $50 =P~ saved me a big chunk of change :cheers:
Thank you again my Canadian friend, He sent a set of shiny new shoes for her last year too =P~
Lokar universal gas peddle and Lokar throttle cable $50 for both SOLD!
Lokar brake peddle $30 sale pennding..
Well everyone was gone to work and I had the hill to myself on a sunny day :cheers:
One step at a time :happy10: It looks like the dart throttle pedal is the way for me to go :cheers:

Nothing like the Dashboard Boogie to make you wish for younger days LOL ... been there, done that -- three times myself. Pass the pain killers!
Looking GREAT Mike! Congrats on all the progress you've made.

Well the Dart peddle has a longer stroke and the placement worked out better then I thought it would, I guess it would be right for me to put it up for sale here and share the great deal for another member, but I am thinking about keeping it =P~ But we will see. Thank you for a great set up pettybludart :cheers:
The Dashboard Boogie :-D Thank you Leanna :cheers: I will have to remember that one:love7:
I woke up to a nice sunny day and could not resist going outside and move forward on this step. :-D
I just had to share :happy10:
This will be my fresh air system from a 4.0 jeep.
And on its way from PHOENIX SPECIALTY COATINGS or lady Leanna has my valve cover dun =P~.
This will make for a good transplant and the two black parts should make for a clean and organized look under the hood.
Ok I am excited :-D and had to share
Thank you fabo for letting me have this thread if my computer takes a dump and I still have some where to retrieve my pictures :happy10:

Stop teasing us memike.=P~ . I am stoked to see it under the hood. 8)
Thanks for the updates.:cheers:

I just got dun doing (as Leanna said) Dashboard Boogie :bootysha:
If anyone does this to an early A this sure worked out good.
I used the same hole and measured three time's and built a strap and drilled the mounting hole for the 72 dart, duster throttle
2 1/2 hours But it is ready for the 390 Holley.
I think I need 1/2 hour in my hot whirl pool. :color:
It sure don't look like 2 1/2 hours of hunting down parts and drilling and bolting things up does it. 8)
I will clean up the high heat sealant 8) in the last picture, I just thought it should be sealed off good
