So kind of a mixed bag that doesn't really justify the added complication or expense. They do look cool though and if your wanting an exclusive piece...

Regarding that cylinder head design, will it make for a lighter piston, reduce combustion chamber temps, or improve air flow over conventional SB ford heads or Weslake heads. I never seen these until I watched the video.

I put in my preorder for the publishers edition. Thanks for the heads up.

What was the original msrp per tire in 1968? $40 - $60.

I would pull the trigger on Vernons carb. Think of it as an investment with compounding interest.

Keep your options open. Someone might trade you for your 67 unit. Originality tends to yield a higher valuation. Something to consider while moving forward.

Correctly dated parts isn't everyone's priority but if I were to happen to come across a closely dated carb I wouldn't ignore it.

Great info Bob. What do you think a good date range for that carb would be for a late Nov - mid Dec 65 build date? Preempting the next probable owner question.

According to the registry all automatic cars were built with the 460 CFM Autolite carb with manual choke.

Sent you a PM. Tim R.

Glad you got your hose kit.

Sure, no problem. It's a hard one to chase down.

Critter Creek Cougar has the white and green stripe vacuum line kits. Pre 69 version no printed part number on hose. Approx 1/4 ID and 7/16 OD. Generous length, might be able to do 2 cars. (800) 816- 8130. crittercreekcougar@gmail.com   Kinda $ with shipping and tariffs out of Canada but what is your alternative.

I would probably let the car owner have it back for what I had in it. Possibly they could come up with a trade for parts or another hipo block.

I thought they were all 2 speed.
