    edel intake and carb fitment?

    i would recommend the 500 cfm carb for an automatic transmission and i bet if you called edelbrock, they would recommend it for a 289/302 especially if the motor is mild and you have an automatic

    coil springs

    i put some 1" lowering springs on mine, and it did the trick (not in the vid) might be a hair too low actually (or i could probably get slightly smaller tires) of course we have different year cars - so thats something to consider too old height new springs *and lets leave...

    Largest tires possible for my 66?

    does the word free mean anything to you? oh im sure it does cause your DADDY probably paid for 90% of the ****e on your car and you know what; 275 radials hook better than 235 radials unless your dad has the money to buy me some nittos and some new leaf springs too and in person, i had...
