your car has been totally restored, along with a 67 dash brake warning lamp installed. How much originality is there? Not to cut it down just going by your stories of the prior owner over the years.

Last pink and white are for the brake lamp switch. The wiper needs all prongs with a wire. How about that single wire in the carpet? The two prong connector on the carpet is for the reverse lamp switch.

I have used 1967 bench seat seat belts in bucket seat cars. They are the same, short sleeves and same length belts. 1966 had different buckles and tabs, possibly the sleeves are different also. Not paid attention to 1966 specifics.

66-67 b bodies use short. C bodies are long. They look the same, just longer. The 68 and up are a different style.

5 of the same tire came with the car when new. If it came with those wheels, then a steel wheel 14x5.5 for spare.

Just make your cruise RPM above 2800. Don't put 2.76 behind that converter. I bought a car like that and it was a foolish combination. Put 3.23's behind it and it is very nice now. And the converter is happier and doesn't slip so much below the stall speed because the RPM comes up so much faster.

It is a clamp that provides even pressure on the plastic. Would be better to have one on there.

I wondered about that. Interesting choice.

Yes I have seen them with both kinds of the body side trims also. Oddity. It would be cool to see a 67 GTX with the silver vinyl top.

The vinyl top was an option, not all of them had it. Reread your first post. The car originally had a 2.94 open rear end. There is no rear defrost code. The rear defroster would have been and blower motor with an air duct not electrical grid on the glass. Y5 is a silver vinyl top

What are freeze plugs sizes in the 906 heads? Thanks

By the looks of the rust pitting on the arm that bolt was in bad shape. Need to wire brush and lube these bolts before turing them. Wheels off the ground so no load of the car weight.

Goes under sun visor mount on outer edges of roof. The shoulder belt clips onto it for storage.

Looks very encouraging. Must have lots of time and engineering in a car that runs that quick. Why a C02 shifter. I don't understad putting in a system that can fail in so many ways.
