Thanks all. I definitely will sell my Lemans. If I keep anything it will be he 67 Firebird. If I keep the bird, a piece of me wants to swap the 400 with the 350 in the Firebird for obvious reasons. ...

I used Taylor 8mm wires on both cars. Street cars, and the FB sees infrequent strip time. I have been pleased. I like the 135 degree angle boots.

When I ran an electric fan I ran a 2 post electric breaker on my radiator support. I attached the charging wire from the battery + to a breaker terminal (we'll call it the supply side), and...

I am one of those that says too twitchy. I will most likely get a bigger steering wheel down the road to give even less road sensitivity.

For me, 14-18 would be ideal. 22+ was too much. 12.7...

Excellent choice. I just learned "Party's Over" last week on guitar. "Wheel..." is also a great one. Actually, "Wheel..." is the first Journey song I ever learned to play all the way through.

I keep a garden hose handy for rad fill (don't run antifreeze until after breakin is done), and also to spray down the rad fins occasionally to aid in cooling. It also helps when I get thirsty. ;)
