The one you posted is not really suitable
The biggest reason is the analog limiter actually initially allows more than 5 volts to the guages at start up
Then tapers down. This allows the gauges to respond sooner
(For example the fuel gauge that jumps up to the fuel level as soon as you turn on...
Real Time Engineering sells an aftermarket upgrade
It's the one I used
And I wouldn't use anything else
It's a good upgrade
much safer than a 59 year old winding
read the web page well
you will have to disable the factory limiter
RTE limiter - rte
The problem is that the voltage limiter is inside of the fuel gauge
unless you have upgraded the voltage limiter to an external one
None of your gauges will work
I got tired of playing this game
I went with an EFI fuel tank from Tanks inc
built an entire new fuel delivery system with an in-tank fuel pump and the floatless fuel sending unit
It all works great. The electric pump is next to quiet (yes I can hear it if I listen for it)
I have 1/2 inch lines...
I have used them
and simply dont trust them
I bought an engine cradle that I can crank the balance and thus the angle of the engine as I need to
like this only Red
definitely not factory
so it was added later
Some of the vinyl tops were added by dealers
so it was possibly added by the dealer
but IMNSHO it's ugly
I am glad mine doesn't have one
I have been modifying this car since I bought it in 77
I wouldn't know what original is anymore
I do appreciate the level of work that goes into a platinum restoration
but it's just not for me
I did
but I have been modifying this car since 1976
I don't consider it a collector car
When you change as much on a car as I have,
it ceases to be collector car, it becomes a street car
for years I ran my MSD box on the inner fender between the battery and the fender
I also added a two step when I installed the line lock
I ran the wires forward and along the core support to the coil which is mounted on the right inner fender
(wires visible in second pic)
the latest version has...
Will it interfere with my sniper efi?
They are not supposed to and I have had no issues with my MSD
from the amazon ad:
"Radio frequency interference compatible for all ignition systems"
I like Taylor Flame Thrower Wires
I buy the universal set and a set of boots
That way I can decide if I need straight or 90 degree boots on an individual basis
You will like the Doug's Headers
Today's quality headers are far superior to what was offered even a decade ago
The flanges are much thicker and seal better
The coatings are superior and still look great after being on the car for a while
You can't go wrong with the Doug's
One thing cut your...
@Loulang
If you are considering aluminum heads for your build or at anytime in the future
Remember not all of these Headers will work with angled plugs
The Doug's work fine with my Edelbrock RPM Heads (angled plugs) and I dont burn any boots
I do use a protective sleeve over the boots
