I checked the usual sources with no luck. Zero results on google, figured I would post the VIN on here in case anyone comes across it by chance in the future. It was sold South of Chicago in the 70's and was supposedly pretty rough from the Illinois winters. Unlikely it survived, but weirder...

I retained my factory ignition switch with a gen 3 swap, any you are correct there is a break in power from start back to run, however, you can splice your ACC wire to your Coil wire and it will see uninterrupted power when releasing the key. You will have full power when you turn the key...

Yea, that was just in the mock up. Couldn't find any of the finished product

I wanted a drain too, but didn't want to lose the area for jacking purposes. Welded in a section of extra axle tube. Protects the welded in bung and acts as a solid jack point

Update - installed the remote GPS antenna with it located on top the dash. Night and day... faith in my speedometer has been restored. :thumbsup:

Restored, tested, ready to install non-rally sweep instrument cluster. 120 MPH speedo with tachometer option. Removed from a 1969 Coronet 440. The following was performed when restoring: *Repainted white range marks and text, Orange needles. (black background finish was in excellent shape...

Hopefully the external antenna makes it more reliable, maybe someone else has more input on that. As it is now without it.. I would be terrified of using that signal to control my speed haha. Are you planning on using the CRS-3000 cable operated TB kit or the CRC-2000 DBW GM LS kit? I didn't...

Fun fact... (somewhat relevant) Ensure you have the correct, older style, crankshaft position sensor installed as called out by the Holley instructions! If you use the newer 2011+ sensor the Terminator X PCM will loose RPM and stall as soon as the alternator begins to charge for some reason. Ask...

I have the DD VHX cluster with the 50-2 GPS speedo BIM for my TR6060. To be honest, I don't love the GPS speedo. I feel like its a bit laggy, and often looses GPS signal. Granted, some (probably most) of this is likely from the mounting location (inside the glovebox) without an external antenna...

Boiiiinnnngggg!

oh before I forget too, I would advise against using their rubber engine mount isolators. I broke them just setting the engine in place. The rubber almost completely separated form the metal. No way I would trust that weak bond to hold that engine in place. I got new ones replaced by Holley and...

besides the steering gear issue, I now remember they were touching the torsion bars too. Had to clearance them pretty good with a round pipe on each side. Might be a blessing in disguise...

What a pain. Likely stopped production for fitment issues. looks like the shorty style are still available.. Hooker BlackHeart BH2375 Hooker Blackheart Gen III Hemi Swap Headers - Stainless

I used several G3H swap parts from Holley in my build and I am overall pretty happy with them. That being said I think their Quality Assurance has declined quite a bit. I used their engine and trans mounts, Oil Pan, headers, exhaust, PS pump, and the Terminator X Max. I feel like well over half...

I was having a hard time finding anything molded that fit. After a bunch of trips to the parts store and cutting up several hoses, I ended up going with a gates flex hose with the built in spring.. Plus the spring makes it impossible to collapse.
