Just don't tell you main brake about your side break. Gotta avoid that drama.

As long as your brakes don't take a break.

Well calling it that in many of my cars would have been silly. See the black thing against the side of the foot well? That is the emergency/parking brake pedal. That is also the exact same interior my 64 had in it!

Well if you need them fixed just remember not to walk in and ask for a rim job.

I had the exact same gauges as pictured in the red one. In fact I think I just threw the oil pressure one out last time a cleaned the basement (when I found the hub cap).

OK, TCoat, dig a little deeper into the basement ……. let's see it …….

Where did you have it mounted …. on the steering column or up on the dash.....

(young-ens …… that setting for a shift point was a joke, back then ….)

It went with the car. It was mounted in the proper housing as seen in the red interior pic. Was senseless since mine was an auto but it looked cool. Was good to know that second gear kicked in when it should though.

You nailed the picture right down to the make and size!

We also have 'hand brake turns'....

Something must be in the air... Maybe because it is 86 degrees outside... IDK. But it is happening again. My Ebay cart is full of suspension parts, and my pint glass is empty. Anyway, I want LCA to dial in my rear camber. Are they functional, IDK, but a more pertinent question is; HOW SHINY ARE THEY??? Ohhh, those are really shiny!
