I really didn’t want to cut the trunk floor for a cell so I’m glad to hear a sumped original tank would look appropriate. Do my fuel system components look at least kind of correct? How about my Victor Jr manifold? When were those introduced? I have this old Torker but I put the Vic Jr on before I decided on how to do the car. Is the pulley I have the one Bernhard was referring to? I replaced it with a Z/28 deep groove but it’s an easy swap. I also have the M/T valve covers but the crinkle finish is flaking off. I got the idea for the gold Moroso s from pictures of Lee Shepherds pro stock camaro. The tach in the picture is the first thing I bought for that car years ago.
The Corvair turbo mufflers interest me. Were they fairly aggressive sounding? How about my Olds steering wheel? I like it better than the 3 spoke Chevy wheel. Keep the opinions coming everyone! |

One more question: What should I do about a fan? I ran the car years ago with an electric fan which did nothing to keep the temp under control. I’m going to drive the wheels off of this thing when it’s back together and I don’t want any problems. Is it going to look dumb with all of these hot rod parts but a stock 772 fan and clutch? Will that setup work while shifting at 6500 or am I going to hurt something? I think flex fans used to be popular but I’ve heard stories about blades flinging off at high RPMs which I’d like to avoid. The only hole in my hood I want is for tunnel ram eventually.
