    Anyone use 68-70 AMD door hinges?

    The AMD and Goodmark fit, they just don't last a long time with constant use. Lower grade import steel used. Taiwan. The pin bushing kits are parts that are just cobbled together. Never such a thing as a real pin bushing kit to go on a set of hinges that were not designed to take the bushings...

    higher output alternator vs smaller pulley

    You shouldn't run faster to gain power. Use relays in your electrical system when available to cut down on power demand. If you need more towing power on the highway, lower gears just make your top speed lower.

    What's it Worth Thinking of selling my dad's Superbird

    Can't take it with you. Sentimental value normally is not $$$ value. So you are really just looking for highest offer. It will need to be inspected and authenticated by a reputable company when you start to ask for high numbers. Good luck with your health.
