After finding out the tach cable is on intergalactic backorder, I found an NOS unit. Pardon my crude method of relaxing the cable After lubing the cable and installing, I had a chance to get Mitch his sound clip

Nothing wrong with the relaxing method. I probably would have used a hair dryer with that to warm and relax the cable housing more.
Those mufflers do have a deep sound to them, might be Porters.

That looks like summer fun to me.

You guys need to contact Han and have him fetch parts with the Millennium Falcon. He made a few modifications himself and she can do light speed now.

A little more progress on the 62 today. I pulled the plug wires out, along with the battery for a nice gentle cleaning of the engine compartment. In addition, I sent the original carb out for restoration yesterday (it has a 64 300hp PG carb on it now). Sounds like that will take about 4-5 weeks.









The cap is a later "R" cap, but still a nice Delco dual window cap



This should run better yet by freshening these! I suspect that in the late 70's early 80's is when the engine was rebuilt and the car was freshened. The wires were a cobbled combination of a few different things


No bueno


More better$$$$$$

As I was looking at the pics, I saw the different plug boots, especially the red one and thought "those are never going back on that engine"... A few pics later, my suspicion was confirmed.
Another happy car to have landed in Tim's domain.
