I have never done the swap with a converted 3 speed manual collumn, but I suppose anything is possible. Of the 2 I have done with a TH2004R, one...
Wow, that is a sweet looking A! I think you're really nailing "the look" with this one!
Yes. I'd reroute the exhaust if possible, or make a heat shield.
I saw on here somewhere recently that someone had used it on a rollcage, rather than painting it, and that it was holding up well. Sounds like...
Comparing original finishes...painted with nitrocellulose lacquer...to "modern" ones painted with acrylic lacquer is comparing apples to oranges....
Yes, its designed to work with EEC-IV. Teh computer controls the advance. You'll need an older Duraspark if you want factory electronic.

I don't know if this helps in the least, but I had a hydraulic roller in an OT '97 Camaro SS LT1 (GEN II small block) that spec'd out at...
Cool, Alexis says they want to use my dad's pic! She is also looking for any '60s vintage drag racing home movies...send them to her email...
My dad with his '60, May 1961: (saw the note, sent to Alexis)
I would be a bit concerned about the floats, too (ASSuming they are brass)...this is one of the first things that blowthrough carb guys replace,...
The TH2004R is the way to go for an automatic OD swap. I put one in a '63 for my dad several years ago, and there was nothing to it. The length is...
