Kenny had to do this three or four times on the 57 till he finally got the correct pedal feel. Each time was a master cylinder swap and I am pretty sure he call the car every name in the book.

Nice 67 with the 66 front end. I'm doing a 66 with a 67 front end. You gonna run E-85 with this engine?

No,,, i'm going to need more octane, 93 at that! might blend a little,,,,

E-85 is 104 octane i think. Just get less gas mileage.

Hey. Just joined up with Latral-G... found your post on google while looking around for idea's for chopping a Nova... Anyhow, names Brian, my Dad and I have plans to do the same to our '67. It's currently at the stripping shop... We've had to remove the roof skin and whatnot due to rust and started thinking about putting more slant on the windshield. That's when we came up with the idea of just chopping it since the new skin was not installed yet...

Anyhow, did have a question about front ends... Looking for best front clip that will provide a good ride without sacrificing looks... Don't want something so stiff that you feel every little bump - no what I mean?

Was thinking about a Detroit speed but they're too damned expensive so what's a good alternative?

Thanks
Brian
