Anyone watching?

In my opinion that color is not the original red oxide.

2375

Agree. Just interesting some early prototype cars (mine Ford official white no stripe automatic car) didn't seem to get them.

Mine did not have one either. #285. Good to hear someone else did not. My current one was added during restoration

Did all early 66s come with rear emblem?

Ran past a stop sign "radar" today. Speedomruns 3-4/mph slow. So at 70 running 3400. 215 15 Hankooks

Broken flange where it connects to the header. I didn't stand a chance doing this one on my own. I have limits.

The car has Klutt's close ratio Toploader racing transmission with the Richmond gears.  Maybe the tachometer is reading incorrectly?  The tires on the car are currently 215 60R 15 in the rear and 210 60R 15 in the front.  Suggestions?

I had a similar issue with the orginal tach; it shows much higher RPM for a given speed than I thought.  Put in an aftermarket tach and now with 3.50 at 70 mph runs arounds 3200 rpm.  the difference is most dramatic at lower rpm's.  above 4000 the tachs are similar

^^+1   

Richard:  Or is it your speedometer?   Or some of both?    Is your 4th gear a 1:1?

Yes 1 to 1. Speedo probably slow too. As we all know in the old days they could be at least 10 mph off.....officer


Yes 1:1

just put Scott Fuller system on.  If you can swing it, the best.  Great look and sound

Cute dog what kind is it?

Thats 2356

The plate was used on other vehicles as well

Looks just like mine (2375) but my interior black

Results were dependent on the shop who applied it. Tuff Kote used to do used cars. I thought Ziebart only provided warranties for new cars (5 years?)

Stock?
