Just putting out feelers. I'm looking for an inserted engine (A or B). Not trying to break the bank but wanted to see what's out there.

Awesome! Thanks much for the info!

Is anyone using one of these or have info on them? I was able to ID the one on my car by 'PerLux' embossed on the body and cap but no other details on it. I know that is was the first incarnation of Pertronix and seems to work well for me.

Thanks guys, I'm not stressing too much over it mainly curious. I was also wondering if the supposed "mild" cam and HC head might add to the rowdy exhaust

So I recently bought a banger pickup and looking for some advice on distance freeway driving. I live in San Diego and most of the good shows are 100 miles or more to the north. I've had a couple bangers in the past but only cruised surface streets and never any distance. My current setup: 6.1...

Looking for the outer 2 taillight assemblies for a '58 Ford wagon. Not worried about the lenses, mainly nice bulb sockets with decent chrome. Thanks! -Joe (619)200-1031
