Kick panel area plug in. It is another harness run's from there under the sill, then under the seat tracks to the center console. There are depressions in the floor pan for the wiring to run.

Real race cars have 4.88 gears, that 1-2 shift comes up real quick. Overheated clutches wouldn't be good. Back in the day some tracks have a sloped starting line and some stick shift cars would roll at. the line and go red

Yes it reads what's on top of the metal. It goes from 1-59 mils, which is a lot of depth. Read about it in the listing. Search around they have dozens of them for different prices.

Those ARP's are 12 point bolts. No problem. We all have 12 point sockets.

I think so these days. Electronic gadgets are everywhere. Ya got 50 bux? They are from 24 to 140 dollars...

The hood could have been replaced in the past 61 years. Go look at this car. You will see more problems, or none at all. And you will love it or hate it after looking at it. It's a convertible so that's a lot harder to find than an hardtop. Get one of those paint depth gauges. They are very...

Is that number etched into the separator plate or into one of the covers that screws onto the side of the valve body? The list says it's for a 64/65. So that would be a cable shift valve body and your 68 trans os not cable shift. Sounds like someone has been swapping parts around.

Do you have power brakes or manual brakes? The clip looks seated to me because the ends are the right distance apart.

That part with 2 holes is just the bottom of the valve body. The top of the valve body has all the shift linkage parts on it. The rear hole for the filter is for the rear pump on a 1962-1965 cable shift trans. They have a front and rear pump in them. I would guess you could run the single...

Well it says precision crankshaft grinding. Do a web search. I was probably close by them so they didn't need to be shipped.

Yes, easy. With trim off it exposes the seam. You take a dull tool and separate at the seam and it opens up. Then you can pull the gasket off the glass towards the body to expose the glass edge

Yes it is possible to reuse it, depends on how well it aged. Only way to know it's to take it apart. The razor knife is the wrong tool for this. Remove trim, unlock the lock strip and open up the gasket. On a warm day put the car out in the sun before you try pushing the glass out.

Did they change the passenger side of the firewall to a non A/C and leave this hole behind? Can you show us the passenger side of your firewall? Do you know the difference?

Thing is what would go through there in that area on a non A/C car? Nothing I can think of. I've owned many of these 70's.

Custom addition to the car.
