Im not sure about the 14 in rims...but if I knew then what I know now i would check out abs power brakes its in Orange CA https://abspowerbrake.com/ i wish I had dealt with them whenI did my conversion.

Hi all...Im curious to what ignition timing works best for everyone...I'm back on the job of getting my 61 running at peak form...its mostly stock 390 (edebrock carb and intake,Fpa headers, petronix distributor) I was fooling with the distributor today thought its the problem not so much...But the t...

So I'm thinking about changing my rims and tires back to more stock..I have changed to a disc brakes so 14in wheels are out. I was thinking 15in but I need some info on the rest of the sizing..i don't know 15 x7 or 15x8. I'm also expecting I will have to buy online if my usual rim shop doesn't work ...

Fitech efi....that's the one I was interested in...Redbird64 What did you get out of the upgrade (mpg,power,etc...)?

62bird...Can you tell me the fuel sending unit you got. Mine was 7.5 inch i think self calibrating ..lol...yeah right...I need to call cause it doesnt quite get to all the way full..

I did not get the gps speedo...I wanted to... it would've been easier..I went with electrical..I was worried about the same thing "losing signal" and I wanted to get in and go.lol..waiting to acquire signal didn't appeal to me...even if its only seconds..I'm silly like that..lol..post a pi...

looks good...I'm curious about the fuel sending unit...Let me know what size you get or got..And when you get it in how it works
