Default Re: Just bought a 68

Paul - great info and questions... This car has been sitting for 3.5 years - the rebuild was done then. So quite a bit of crap has gathered. The cables are still new, but I'd feel better knowing what exactly went into this car. The air cleaner is old - was just thrown on there - and the radiator blew, so there's fluid all over the place. Just looking to pretty it up a little..

Flowmasters is the obvious choice, and yes I would sound like all the others... And living in NC every truck around sounds like that. I am not locked in there, but I do like the louder muscle sound.. Spintech is another, only havent heard them in person yet. I got time though... X pipe huh... I'll look into that as well.

Electrical is on my list. I currently got one headlight super bright and the other super dim. Wiring problem there (most likey) Also when I turn on the blinkers, I get some smoke feums... So wireing there as well.

I think small term goals are:
-Radiator
-Fluids (make sure all full and new)
-Fix any leaks (have 2 i think)
-brakes
-electrical will be an ongoing deal

I feel at this point I'll be just about road worthy. Not looking good, but road worthy.

Then on to looking good, and driving better parts..

Again thanks for all the help. do you guys reccommend any other sites for information on classics?

Oh - did anyone see the sparkplug pluggin the wire on the passagers side of the engine in my video? What the hell is that all about?
