<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Donnie</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Rick, is there an owners manual with the car?

if not I still have the original one in the plastic from my 66 that I wrecked 31 years ago. </div></div>

Nothing was I the glove box. I'll buy your owner's manual.

Thanks everyone!

Bryan and I went for a quick ride tonight. This car is a beast! The 4.10's make it MOVE! I love how the turbo 400 shifts. But it does rev pretty high at 55. It does not have a tach.

Tonight I removed the front bumper assembly, separated the valence, and will drop it off tomorrow for an application of correct color. Fixed an inoperable tail light socket and installed a bulb in the HVAC control panel. Sure is tight behind that dash with all of that AC stuff.

Going to detail the interior next.

Nice it has 4.10s! That's what my car has too. If they're factory the axle tube should have a DN code stamped on it. I don't like driving mine on the freeway because of the high revs. If I had a 5-speed Muncie it would help. If you're looking for a factory tach I can help.

Next time I raise it off the ground, I'm going to check the axle tube for the axle ratio code.

Tach may be in my future. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/cool.gif[/img]

I was reading about that on this site and CT. I'm a little confused; do I need a center link AND idler arm AND pittman arm?
