thanks wayne!
various bits and pieces starting to come together... and still doing a lot of detailing on original parts which have been bagged up since disassembly.
last night i worked on running the spark plug wires up to the distributor.
still wondering where to put the ignition box.
it absolutely needs to be kept dry at all times...(that's a no brainer, eh?)
...and separated from the blaster coil as much as possible?
any suggestions here?
can it be safely mounted on the firewall above the heater box?
also been rethinking my plan to install hydratech hydroboost for the brakes.
i have read stories in some threads where people claim to be satisfied with manual brake set-up when properly adjusted.
it seems to be a matter of using a master cylinder with appropriate bore diameter and mounting the clevis on the brake pedal to achieve favorable pedal ratio.
baer is selling a very nice looking billet aluminum master cylinder which can be installed with optional bolt-on proportioning valve.
according to baer tech support it is adaptable to hydratech hydroboost but i would likely need a different diameter master cylinder bore if i wanted to switch it up later on down the line.
do any of you guys care to share your thoughts on this one... manual or hydroboost?
are there considerations to be taken into account that i'm not yet aware of?
and here is another issue i've been struggling to come to a decision on:
before my parents got the car the passenger side door was replaced with one from a 1969 car.
on the driver's side door i have a wing window and on the passenger side i do not.
also, the 1969 door has a different interior door panel.
i have been able to locate replacement 1968 doors but getting one to alaska may be quite expensive and it's difficult to verify the condition of the parts.
some guys want to sell a door for $850 but won't even email a photo!
i really want the car to look right but i'm not sure how much i should be willing to lay down for this type of thing...
also really, really need to resolve this one before going to paint, right?
any opinions are welcomed and appreciated.
thanks in advance for your input!
