You probably already know this ( I see you are planning on installing a C-6) but I asked about the correlation with tall injectors and auto trans and here are the responses I received. Thx for posting that, good stuff there. The tall injectors look cooler too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairlane1320 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thx for the comments guys!! I did a bunch more work on the Fairlane this weekend. Made up some spark plug boots from WD-40 straws, and added a M.A.D. distributor and wire set....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairlane1320 Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 The front suspension is just about done, the front wheels are finally mounted. I do need to narrow the wheel backs, the track width is a bit too wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6bblbird Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I love what you are doing with this one! I have collected parts to do this car simply because it was local to me ( Long Island) and I knew one of the owners. You finish yours first! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10thumbs Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Looking good Ron! You know, I think what makes this one look really good is that you choose to not have chrome wheels! Excellent choice, my opinion. This car looks right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
