    avoiding heat inside car

    Stupid is as stupid does!

    67 Convertible Vin #??

    I believe the verts would have to have an reenforced rocker panel too. Look on the title to get the VIN then decode that.

    Point gap and timing

    Do I set the point gap before I time my 66 289, or afterwards? If I set the gap before timing, then time the engine, do I need to re-set the point gap after I time it? Thanks for any information about this.

    Yeah, that's a bubbamobile. Not worth your time and energy, much less the money it would take to get it back on the road. I wouldn't even take a second look at it.

    Leaf spring ??'s Replace or not ??

    Yeah, you just need to replace the 40 year old leafs with new 4 leaf springs. You may have a problem getting the front bolts out. I did, and wound up using a reciprocating saw to saw it off. And, when you go to put the bolts in the rear shackles, don't fully tighten them down until you have...

    Buy performer RPM or stick with plain performer?

    Yeah, the performer is not anything more than a stock intake made out of aluminum. There are about a zillion other intakes that will be better for a performance engine.
