    Thanks for the pics, I kinda agree. Even though both look great, the body color is some money in my pocket. I just sent mine out for a re-chroming quote, so I'll consider your option. Like you implied, it's cheaper to re-change from body color to chrome than visa versa.

    Got my serpentine issues solved. Everything lines up. Stabbed in the dizzy, installed #6 AN fittings on my braided steel fuel line and took my Dremel to the header gaskets to eliminate any steps obstructing the exhaust ports. Have to stop at Summit tomorrow to pick up a pig tail harness for the Duraspark.

    Heading to the engine dyno shop this weekend.

    That is one of the locations I was thinking about and it's a 3 3/4" tach so it might not be too bad. I actually got it from someone here on the forum and he built a bracket for it that goes in the ashtray and it will still open and close. Unfortunately, it sits a little too high for my liking but I think if I flip it upside down it might be perfect.:bouncy:

    I just installed a new radiator cap and drained it out, poured some new Anti freeze, and started sanding the body today
