We agreed on a price so I'm heading to the bank for a cashier's check!

Congratulations on the new car, it's a real beauty.

If you need any advice on transport I recently went shopping for a carrier and would be happy to share the experience.

If you need a over night the Rupp Inn is about 5 hours from Springfield MO.

One of those rocket launchers you like would be cheaper!

How cool is that!!!!!! A boosted 4 barrel 6 shooter. Bet it makes tons of power and the block and cranks are nearly bomb proof!!

Back in the day Ak Miller was a big Ford 6 builder. I have seen one of his motors with six motorcycle carbs on it!! Way cool!!

That is a really good color, and a nicely done coupe. Factory deluxe interior?

Just to mess with people, I would custom make a rear valance with just one GT exhaust cutout and chromed tip.

I like the idea of a 5 speed.

It has a brake booster, does it have front discs? No power steering?

I like the dual exhaust and 5-speed ideas. I’d probably use Rob’s exhaust tips, they look meaner.

 

[robert campbell]

Arlie,
5 speed would be bitchin!! And will increase the gas mileage and fun factor!! Dual exhaust with a split header system would be cool!!

Bring that six shooter over!! We can have a bunch of fun with your money!! My favorite!!

You all most never get back the investment for modifications.
If you do not care, Rob will be happy to help you spend you cash. LOL

I’ve heard horror stories about changing a ring and pinion. Is it really that difficult? If I switch to a 5-speed some day I’ll need to change the rear gears.

 

[Ruppstang]

The I6 axel is not a removable carrier. I have not changed gears in one, I opted to find another complete axel with a better ratio. Most automatics were 2.82 and the manuals were 3.25. I may have a 3.25. It really made a great driver out of our 67.

 

[Mosesatm]

The rear gears were changed to 3.20.
Someone also installed Pertronix ignition but didn't use a 12V source. Is there a good source under the hood or am I going back to the ignition switch, or fuse box?

Neil,
You posted this in another thread.
....I opted to use the connector @ the firewall (in the engine compartment). It's the square connector, wire #904 in the wiring diagram
Did you splice into an existing wire?

Today was spent fixing an exhaust leak.
Next are valve seals and a timing set.
