Congrats and thanks for the pics!

X2......and welcome!

Cool project. I hope it will have that fine Corinthian leather.

I just had my torsion bars out and backed the bolt out the the point where I could just feel the tip of the bolt sticking out of adjuster nut.

I have the 1st ignitor with the matching Pertronix coil and don't use the ballast resistor. The only issue I had was the car came with a cheap dist. cap and I wound up replacing it with a cap with brass contacts.

Ron, don't forget to replace the burlap under the foam. You can get it at JoAnn fabrics.

Jay, I did some poking around on flea bay and found at least 1 original shifter. Yes he does have the original shifter in his Cuda. The only reason I know that he he is the original owner. I think you're gonna have to do some serious looking to find one. Take a look at where the mounting is on the tranny and maybe you could use the universal shifter. Good luck.

welcome to the board.

Do you have 12 volts going to the coil and ignitor and not running through the ballast resistor? - - - Updated - - - Great minds think alike 68chicken!

Sweet 62 Dawg! Welcome.

Happy birthday youngster! Remember growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!

Welcome to the board. BTW Sonny is my hero!

Welcome Tyler. Love those early 60's Mopars!

Welcome to the jungle Jake!

The porcupine joke.......Do you know the difference between a Porsche and a Porcupine? In a Porsche the pricks are on the inside!

Thanks Meep. My buddy called me after he pulled the shifter boot and said it didn't look like it would swap. I told him no problem just stop by after he gets one and I'll do some fab work. He knows the payment method........cheap beer!

Welcome mate! Sounds like a real project.

Welcome, should be a cool project! Any pics?

Welcome to the board. Awesome Bee!

I always enjoy shooting the breeze with car real guys. The ones I don't want to talk to I give em the brushoff.

Welcome to the board Russ.

X2 on that Big! Now I really have Hemi Envy.

Welcome. Sounds like a cool project.

Wow.....a little to pricey for me! X2 moparpoor!

Don't be afraid to advance the timing. See how it runs and if it starts to rattle back it off.

Welcome fellow Badger. Cool project and one sweet Buick. Good luck!

X2 on that Sonny! I think anyone that has the determination to work on these old Mopars isn't afraid of hard work and isn't looking for a government handout.

Awesome! It will look sinister in black.

Have you decided on a color yet? It's always a tough decision unless you are doing a factory resto. Congrats on the progress.
