Didn't someone (Waffles?) just say that they didn't see too many Red 67-68 FB's around? This here sure is a pretty one! I didn't realize that you had such a nice car.

Did you load the pics up in the gallery?

Waffles · « **Reply #2 on:** August, 07, 2008, 07:28:51 AM »

Wow, I revoke my previous statement. This car looks great in red. The 67-8 coupes I'd seen were NOT so pretty.

"sux" is a relative term used loosely in the above statement.

What really sucks is having no tach and spinning the motor as if you're a 1/2 car length behind on the last lap at Daytona.... and then hearing that all to familar rod knock. That sucks.

All fixed now though. Motors back together and new tach is on the workbench.

Check the MSD instructions for connecting the ignition up to the tach. I remember seeing them in there, just forget what they were. Or call MSD.

pnandy,
Did you have the original Jcode block stroked to a 331?

pnandy · « **Reply #8 on:** August, 07, 2008, 11:45:20 AM »

nope its an 84 302 block that has mild performance upgrades old style march serpentine conversion demon carb(which needs to be tuned) msd ig coil dist why'd you think it was a 331?

Craig, if your gonna stroke it, (You know there a joke in there) get a roller block, not that you cant stroke the J code, but the roller has more potential...

Ask the Stroker conversion question over in the engine section and we'll all kick it around!

Fair enough.

Waffles = Mad Skills.

I'm not so sure that's Highland Green, but obviously the Black looks killer.

pnandy · « **Reply #20 on:** August, 19, 2008, 04:16:56 PM »

Thanks waffles i love the black and think i will be going with just that. So i was thinking of going with black and some flat black stripes (don't know if they should come out of turn signals for hood only or span enitre length or car) should i also have these painted on or would it be a good idea to have matte black vinyl stripes installed that way i don't have to worry about maintence of the paint and can always remove the vinyl ones in the future? giv eme some opinions please maybe a real dark charcoal for the stripe instead?

Waffles · « **Reply #21 on:** August, 19, 2008, 05:39:53 PM »

Black would look bitchin... and with flat black... mmmmmmmmmm yessir, I think this is the way to go. I'll do what I can to slap some stripes on that thing... even to keep it without racing stripes, but go to a rocket panel stripe in flat black would be real sharp and equally low key.
