Attachment 52554 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. Attachment 52552 Attachment 52553 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. Attachment 52550 Attachment 52551 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! danny :thumbsup: |

Yes, a good spot to put the MSD box is above the heater box on the firewall. Some people also install them on the wheel well.
You should PM andrewB70 about the Hydro-booster. From my perspective I love it. Street driven - it really helps deal with the low RPM's vacuum issues. Andrew is a knowledgeable person on all mechanical issues. He should be able to steer you in the right direction. Keep up the good work. :hello: Who are you checking in on a for replacement door? I don't remember my sources off hand, but can look them up if needed. |

one real good piece of advice i received for this project: "it's all in the details." :thumbsup: Quote:
i appreciate the compliment. :thankyou: Quote:
fenders coming soon!!! :dance: Quote:
the MSD box will probably go in the engine compartment above the heater box as you describe, or possibly on the inside of the firewall behind the glove compartment... still thinking on it... and looking at a lot of pictures... and reading thread stories... i am planning to order the hydratech hydroboost unit and the baer master cylinder monday morning. i have more questions to get answered but based on what i've already been told it seems like that combo would stand a decent chance of working... will also touch base with andrew to see what he thinks... thanks for the tips. about the door, ahhh... i've talked to people at butler classics in wisconsin, frank's pontiac parts in california, and i've also searched dale's restoration parts and keep my eye on billions and trillions website too. swapping the glass is also an idea, eh? and i'm not particularly attached to the wing window in the 1968 door. mainly, i just feel like both sides of the car should have the same glass. here is the drawing of glass hardware for the 1968 door: Attachment 52649 roger, do you have the 'body by fisher' service manual for 1969 model year? it would be so helpful to me if i had the picture of glass hardware for the 1969 door. let me know please. there must be a way for me to get the glass right without having to get a whole new door... thanks so much for checking out my project guys!!! :lateral: danny |
