I'm going to be building a 1971 Hemi 'Cuda in FM3  ; I already have the colour ( Testors 2-stage paint ) , but am lacking the specific gloss clear --- will the One Shot clear be okay atop the lacquer base-colour coat ?

Always test first, but yes most Testors clear lacquers will be OK to shoot over Testors lacquer color coats. The high gloss Wet Look clear should be fine.  Let the base coat flash and dry before overcoating with clear.

You can shoot Testors clear lacquers over virtually anything, including enamel.

I do it all of the time for interior, chassis and engine parts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Testors enamel thinned with lacquer thinner and cleared with Testors #1261 lacquer gloss coat.

All Testors lacquer clear coats are interchangeable.

Steve,

If you don't mind, can you tell me where you sourced the distributor and wiring for the 426?

thanks

Morgan Automotive Detail, (M.A.D) makes very possibly the best pre-wired distributors in the hobby!
