and the last pic. Unfortunately, I did not get a shot of the A/C on the firewall but I am almost positive it was there. At least from a memory stand point.

And about the "Dana" well, we have decided that there is so much info missing and for the price the seller is wanting it is not worth it to us. Also, the vin and cowl tag just does not seem right and that is why I decided not to show all of my pics of the car until we were sure of the problem. Thanks again for all the info and I really appreciate all the help. I guess it is on to looking for another project. Oh well, life goes on.

Does anyone remember this car at Cliff's showroom shop or am I just on crack? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] I swear I thought it had A/C or at least the firewall was cut for the A/C box.

Regarding the 4 speed, did they swap in different pedals when they switched to the automatic because it looks like the automatic brake pedal and no sign of the clutch pedal. I saw the picture of the RS grommet so I would say it appears to be an RS car for sure. Since the car has had so much done to it in it's past life, it will make it more difficult to figure things out. If you can find someone to run the VIN through NICB to see if Dana was the original selling dealer, that is probably the best starting point.

Do not fear. There are a lot of 'gearheads' out here who do not swear by every web site forum. A lot of chest pounding sometimes get's carried away. Generally, everyone wants to help and share. Problem is , it is all about MONEY.....and if someone knows more that you, well you are at a disadvantage. So just keep having FUN.....When these cars are no longer FUN, then we will all be driving Cadillacs, and playing golf. And that's because we are getting old. Personally, I am over 60, and I always find it interesting when a 35 year old expert tells me about a Rochester Fuel Injection system on a 65 Corvette. He was 3 when they made the car, but he now is a Bloomington Gold Judge and has "ALL THE ANSWERS"
Just keep smiling and listing. We won't hurt you. Jim

Jim, check your math, at 35 in 2003, a guy would not yet be born in '65!
Don't fault the younger guys, they've schooled many an ol'timer on some of this stuff. Just because someone was 'alive' back in the day doesn't mean they know their stuff! A lot can be learned through intensive research 25-30 years later.

Hey, Electricity was discovered 2 centurys ago, long before any of us, (except Charley) were born. That doesn't mean a 35 year old electrical engineer doesn't know his stuff!
