Man I love those old windows, I love that you can just crack them for a little breeze. What fuel pump regulator setup did you run? I dont see a return line which looks cleaner. Nice ride, I had a 69 in high school and loved that car.

Those look like 73-74 door panels. You just gave me a ton of ideas for my car! What are those front seats out of? I'm liking that neon center console too!

Car looks great!!

I see you are using the dual plane manifold. I am getting ready to do the same swap, but its going ina truck instead. What would you recomendation be as far as the manifold goes? Some say single plane and others say dual plain.

It is a four wheel drive and the motor is stock.

With a stock motor, and it going in a 4-wheel drive truck, I would go with the dual plane manifold. Better low end power. Just my $.02

Agreed dual plain, you would leave to much torque on the table with the single plain. and your gonna need that to get that 4x4 moving!

Nope just cut mines to save money, plus it still holds the same amount of oil!~

Default Sitting pretty

Did you change the coil springs up front? I swapped from drum to disc up front then went to 17x8 on all four corners... now i'm sitting to high up front any ideas?
