I had a friend send me a "proper" 6.70-15 tire for the spare. Now the spare tire cover will sit down like it should. A few detail pics of reassembling the trunk with it's original (and fragile) trunk mat

Beautiful!!

After finding out the tach cable is on intergalactic backorder, I found an NOS unit. Pardon my crude method of relaxing the cable After lubing the cable and installing, I had a chance to get Mitch his sound clip

Nothing wrong with the relaxing method. I probably would have used a hair dryer with that to warm and relax the cable housing more.
Those mufflers do have a deep sound to them, might be Porters.

You guys need to contact Han and have him fetch parts with the Millennium Falcon. He made a few modifications himself and she can do light speed now.

A little more progress on the 62 today. I pulled the plug wires out, along with the battery for a nice gentle cleaning of the engine compartment. In addition, I sent the original carb out for restoration yesterday (it has a 64 300hp PG carb on it now). Sounds like that will take about 4-5 weeks.









The cap is a later "R" cap, but still a nice Delco dual window cap



This should run better yet by freshening these! I suspect that in the late 70's early 80's is when the engine was rebuilt and the car was freshened. The wires were a cobbled combination of a few different things


No bueno


More better$$$$$$

As I was looking at the pics, I saw the different plug boots, especially the red one and thought "those are never going back on that engine"... A few pics later, my suspicion was confirmed.
Another happy car to have landed in Tim's domain.
