Re: Garm's 1969 project
@ pebbles: that's a great idea. I'll do it today.
My butt says yes. I'll dyno it again when I get the cam on there.

Good job on the coil and wires. I could feel a difference with the MSD wire and coil I used too.

Re: Garm's 1969 project
Just ordered two of the cheap version of the cup holder, will let you all know if they are crap or decent. Feedback looked good, and for less than ten bucks for two it seemed like a no-brainer!

Re: Garm's 1969 project
You aught to add the heater hose block offs to the PMWIKI tech section. I am sure there are plenty of people that would love to easily find that info down the road! (Like myself)

Re: Garm's 1969 project
Developed a water pump leak. This was just as difficult to remove as the thermostat housing was.
Finally got my cutoff tool out. Muahaha! Win!
