ScottNM Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Thank you. I took a good friend for a 40 mile cruise and he was quite impressed with the power. I put new ball joints, bb springs and kyb shocks in front. I must say this thing rides very nice down I40. I am looking forward to getting the posi diff in there soon. It is from a 70mc. I have poly bushings to install on the diff unit and it has a sway bar. I hope it does not stiffin up the ride to much. I have my gauges in except RPM guage. I have been going back in forth between a retro column mounted unit or a removing the clock and putting oem type there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmanabba Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 If it helps I vote in dash for the tach. I have one car , my 67 firebird, with the tach on the column and if I could find an in dash unit that I like I would change it. I don't know if mine would be considered retro since I did it that way in 1978 and just left it lol. I am gathering parts right now for the 70 Monte to do the in dash conversion.

ScottNM Posted November 27, 2011 Author Share Posted November 27, 2011 I agree with you. The only reason I even debate it is because of line of sight. I like this thing as stock looking as possible. They ahve one on "ground up" for chevelle and looks like a fit. I need to call them and ask if the rpm gauge are identical for MC. 160 I believe.

Mike 57 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The tachometers are the same. May need a different printed circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
