Hello my friends,

I have a PC-91 coil. I plan to mount it on the inside & under the dash on the passenger side, and then run the wires thro' a hole in the firewall. Will this in any way cause electro-magnetic interference with my Electronic gauges?

The intent is to keep my firewall (which btw is fibeglass) looking as clean as possible on my T. I'll be cutting a wooden backer board to fit under the dash, and mount the coil and the fuseblock of the wiring harness and then run the wires from there.

Tips?, Ideas?

Thanks much!

A few pics of my new set up. I installed a Kugel 90 degree master cylinder set up. I believe this will give me more stopping power over the old corvair system I had before. I will be able to service the master cylinder thru the cowl door. I also incorparated the steering column support using a connecting rod.

Well, I picked up a short bench from a caraven. Took the base off, took the seat belts off the side, and it still won't fit!!!! I have the stretched body from Herman, but it's not wide enough for the bench. Man! This seat really looks good, too. I wish this body was just 3 inches wider! I know some folks widen their T's, but I'm not that skilled. Anyone have any other ideas for seats? I think I'm going to have to go with the Tempress boat seats. They look like they would work. Have short backs and I can get some sliders that will bolt to the floor. They don't have springs in them, just high density foam.

Any suggestions?

I'm starting to think of how I want to fabricate my exaust system, but aren'r cracks an issue with the long side pipes I see ? Seems like a lot of weight hanging out there to not have issues in some cases. I've looked at a lot of examples, to get some ideas for my own, and I don't think I've seen any rear support on a system yet however.
I plan to have short turn outs at about the rear of the doors.

Cheers,

Just purchased a body and bed from RPM ,picked it up friday night.
Body was built by Hermans Fast Glass ,It is a shame to start cutting
and grinding on it , it is so smooth and shinny.
I am starting my build,got the frame built and that's about all.
Got a long way to go. I have learned so much from everyone on this
forum,without it i would not know where to start.
I also purchased some frame part from RPM so Thank YOU for your help.

I have a crunched section of radiator fins that I would like to hide. The section is about 1" high X 1.5" long right in the top dead center of the fins (see photo). I was thinking about using an emblem to hide it until I saw roosters radiator had some type of screening mounted in it that looked really cool. I'm looking for other suggestions & also, Rooster, where did you get that screen?

Thanks for all the help,

Ok I did everything that I know to do with no real success. I have been getting oil on the valve covers for awhile now. I first had just a PCV on the drivers side and an oil fill cap and a breather on the passenger side. (Passenger side has 2 holes.) I found out the the gasket seats were not correct so I got the right one and I got them with baffles from Summit. I have the pcv hooked to the front large port on the edelbrock carb. I still have oil on the valve covers after driving. Granted I'm usually in the 2700-3000rpm range when driving. What else can I do to stop it or what do I need to do find the problem? Any advise will be greatly appreciated.

Here is a pic of my new shocks from Ron Plus He threw in a bonus

Just doing some planning for the time when I have to start painting things. Has anyone out there used the PPG Envirobase paint system? I plan to paint my car and parts in my garage using HVLP equipment and all of the necessary barriers to catch overspray. I've read some articles about the PPG product and would like to hear the experience of others. Just a note, most, if not all manufacturers use water based paint systems on new car production so I know the products work. Just wondering how they worked for the hobbyist.

Anyone running a PRC radiator that can post pictures of it? Thanks
