If you haven't already done so, you might want to replace the upper control arm bushings with the newer style replacements that have zerk fittings.

Will do. sorry.

Let me take some pics this weekend of it setup.

Just below passenger side exhaust manifold.

Herb, The throttle body contains the CPU and fuel regulator and is not much (if any) larger than a typical four barrel carb. Set up was easy and it will "learn" the engine once some basic parameters are initially set. Skip the Fuel Command Center option (uses the stock fuel pump to fill it...

If you want a really high output alternator, check out Power Bastards. I bought one for my '66 Town Landau with a 390 because I converted to drop in fuel injection from FiTech and wanted as much power because of the fuel pump:

If I were in your position, I would unscrew the turn signal switch assembly from the steering column and pull it away as far as the wires will allow. The thought would be: If there's enough slack, you could possibly cut the original wires as close as you can to the underside of the old switch and sp...

Started assembling a circuit, consisting of a micro-sized relay, 555 IC/timer, two resistors, and two capacitors. Keeping in mind this all has to fit within the confines of the original can. The way I have the components spaced, at this point anyway, is to keep everything close together and to use a...

Write up document and pics emailed. Thank you for the kind words and support.
