Wow, hard to believe that's the same car. It looks great! Congrats on the find. Do you know the approximate build date of your car? I'm guessing it's an early build, as your carpet has the fully ribbed heel pad like mine did (first photo), which is apparently something of a unicorn. I've...

I have a set of 6x9s that I also bought from the Turnswitch site, but I haven't gotten around to installing them yet. I'm not much of an audiophile, so my opinion on sound quality probably isn't worth much. After not having any tunes for years, I was just happy to have a working radio and...

I had the same problem as you, so I returned it and bought one of these instead. Classic Car Speakers Bottom of the page, Stereo 4"x10" Oval Dual 3-1/2"

That was not my experience with the ACC mass backed carpet. Floor contour molding was not perfect where the seat belt retractors sit on the floor for 70 models, but it was pretty darn good. Here's a pic before final trimming for the door sill plates.

I got the ACC carpet from RockAuto. I ordered the stock weave style, but opted for the mass backing. ACC carpet, mass backing?

I've used heat gun or a propane torch. Scrapes off pretty easily after a little bit of heat.

Yes, it can be refurbished. Redline Gauge works or others could do this work for you. Redline Gauge Works In mine, the circuit board was fried, so I repaired it with this tach repair kit- RTE 67-74 Tach kit - rte

Personally, I wouldn't hang my hat on the fact that a professional carb shop rebuilt your carbs, unless they also installed them on the car and then tuned it. If they didn't, then all they can provide is a general "out of the box" tuning setup that should at least allow the car to run. Since...

Have you looked at the plugs? Where is timing at? How are your carb tuning skills? You own a six pack carbureted musclecar. If you ever want it to live up to its potential, go buy a Holley book, a tuning kit, wideband O2 meter, and start watching some Youtube videos.

I bench pressed the four speed back into my Cuda one afternoon after high school. Feeling all proud of myself, I told my dad about my progress when he got home from work. He looked at the work bench in the garage and pointed out the new throwout bearing still sitting there in the box. :mad:

Is this a recent problem/change on a car that is familiar to you, or is the car new to you?

The FSM lists a 64 size main metering jet for all 383s with a Holley 4-barrel in 1970.

I believe auto cars came standard with the 8-3/4. Didn't follow this auction, but looks like you did well. Congrats! :thumbsup:

Maybe you are using the terms interchangeably, but technically the humps are not "spot welded", they were tack welded in place using a mig welder around the perimeter of the hump. If you need them, I can probably dig up pics of mine from before I removed it for a floor repair. If I recall...

Even if you are just looking for a rust free E-body, the numbers discrepancy is likely to reduce the resale value forever.
