New build for Michelle

[David.C]

I really like these R&M Specialties wire looms. I might not like them as much, if I was trying to do this with the motor in the car. On the stand it's way easy.

I just dropped so much $ on brakes I nearly threw up!!! This woman better be happy!!!

Are those going to work with the small front tires? Seems like the braking ability you have would lock up the fronts before getting the car stopped.

Actually ordered the 4 piston version, same color as above. Photo above is thier stock pic. Yes, we will be running a skinny(ish) front tire, not the Moroso front runners in previous pics (not DOT approved). We will be running the MT Sportsman S/R, 26x6-15. Also orderderd thier MC & adjustable prop valve. So... should solve any issues. This car is what I would call a mild pro-street build.

Gotcha. I had the wilwood 4 piston calipers on my chevelle and used an adjustable proportion valve to keep them from locking up. Worked fine from 150 mph.

I have those on my 442; they're great because you can pull 4 bolts, the plug boots, and dist cap, and the firing order stays put.

It's coming together, new Baer brakes and MC are installed. Changed over to a 150# spring in the rear. Set the motor in (again), dry fit accessory drive (again). Headers installed, no clearance issues (thank God). Car go's for body work and paint cut in next month. Also ordered Ididit touch steering column, due in next month.

Is that the vintage air unit?

Vintage Air does not make a kit for G Body's. The kit I ordered is from ArizonaGN (see link below), they are a small family business. It consists of the VA Magnum and some custom pieces specifically for our cars. It is a little pricey ($2200), but it was worth it to me not to have to re-engineer a universal kit to fit. I'll post detailed pics when I install for everybody.
