Here is with ballast in place, in case you consider leaving it. That way you can convert back easily in an emergency.

For the Roadster brain trust:

1. Is the 5th gear synchronizer the same (brass) for either the servo or warner boxes?

2. Is the 5th gear synchronizer in our boxes the same one the first-generation Z-cars used in their's?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Linda

I have the MSD 6al and I'm looking for a wider picture with the MSD wiring and the Ei distributor, and how they connect to the coil and wiring harness.

Do the snaps for the e-brake boot go into the tunnel carpet?
Did the 67 originally have a boot?
I've never had one on mine :oops: :shock:

This means those with servo trannies need not sweat the use of swepco with brass! Lucky folks indeed.

Took my motor and head to the machine shop to get decked and hot tanked. The shop forgot to give me back the guiding pins for the block, DO I NEED THOSE? Worth going back to the shop to get them back?
