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.

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.

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.
