I just did the Scarebird (US Car Tool) conversion on my ‘68 Super Bee. Very happy with it and I got to keep my 14” road wheels… My experience - Scarebird Front Disc Brake Conversion

That’s likely what it is…thanks!!

Hi all, Doing some general under the hood cleaning and I noticed my hood (1970) has 6 small holes along the leading edge. Anyone know what is supposed to be attached with these 6 holes if anything? Thanks! Bob

Haven’t heard from FBO yet. Will call tomorrow as they’ve had the box for a week now. My light was red the entire time it had a problem. I found that if I pushed on the cover of the FBO box, the engine would stop running. Seems to me that maybe when the box gets hot, it expands and creates a...

Well...found out it was not the switch. After putting 3 trips and maybe 5 miles on the car after the new ignition switch, I felt good about taking to Cars and Coffee this morning - about 12 miles. Ran great...until about mile 11. Very quick "stumble" and then it continued to run fine. Left...

Hi all…finally got the new ignition switch installed. Had it out twice and no recurrence of the problem so far.

I recently had a similar issue in my ‘68 Super Bee. It would just die while driving. Sometimes it would fire right back up and sometimes is would just crank. My electronic ignition box, distributor, coil are all brand new and my ballast resistor is bypassed. I just replaced the ignition...
