    Is the (+) positive side of the coil a good 12 volt source?

    Doing Shelby drop

    The Shelby drop was invented by Carroll Shelby to improve the handling on his GT 350 and was never intended to be used on a 67 and up. That's why there is confusion about where to drill the holes on the 67 and up.

    Yep, that's true. I really don't see that you have enough engine to be worrying about the octane. Pump gas is just fine for your set-up.

    Steering Wheel?!

    wheel You can get your original wheel refurbished, but that will cost you more than a nice new aftermarket wheel. If you prep that paint by getting it super clean then use vinegar on it, then self etching primer, then paint. it should last you for a number of years.
