    Yes, it's possitive ground. That extra wire is the tailight wires, I have not got em hooked up, they are just laying across the inside.

    Yeah, it was something like that! My Dog used to howl like crazy if she hear the coupe fire up when it was stock, she loved riding in it and didn't want me to forget her :D Well, when this thing lit off, she was a howlin away like mad!!!

    Didn't get very much done at all this weekend due to my Birthday, Mothers day, and my Girlfriend graduating from Gonzaga University!!!

    But I did manage to make an exhaust system out of a 35/36 Ford driveline. I need to shorten it a little so it's not so close to the rear wishbone, but other that it should work fine!

    I think the Thickston is a perfect choice - Not the norm - & the high rise mounts will fill the engine bay a bit up top - I'd be happy to find any original twin carb manifold in that condition...... they seem a bit thin on the ground over here along with all the other good stuff....... could go re-pop but first choice is always a good original.
