..with the trans and 4-spider diff rebuilt and back in, we had to fuss with the hyd clutch system to get the PP to dis-engage enough..the Crown headers are out,being a royal PITA ; to compliment the NOS '63 Vette valve covers,I'm modifying 'ram-horn' manifolds to fit the existing cut-outs in the SS panels at the bellhsg... I've re-wired the car, feeding the stock Corsa harness up thru the floor under the FG Crown seat,splitting the required engine wiring from the rear lights (now done),using the former heater fan wire for the big-cap HEI coil feed,and running the rear light wires down the pass-side frame rail...Ron would like to use the Corsa tach,as the wire is there,but I don't know if the HEI 8-cyl signal will work the tach correctly...the speedo will have to get fixed-it stopped working at 49k (but the trip odo still works..)...the front dash and fusebox are almost out,and will get replaced with a Buss ATO piece in place of the rusty Corvair fusebox... with the harness
 out of the way,the clutch-brake cross-shaft will come out to get re-bushed,and the clevis point moved down a bit for more clutch master travel...can the tach be adjusted to read rpm's right ?? TIA,Tom Z..//
