If the studs are long-gone, you may have to use the 1970 variety.

drill the holes, first. this allows you to paint/prime them to combat the rust that befalls poor vinyl top installations. You can feel their placement after the top is installed. If you make a drilling template, you can use it after the top is installed to better find the holes.

ready for a quick road trip, @Cuda Hunter ?

That looks like a ballast resister. Maybe for a slant-6, I have the least experience with those.

No, But I ordered a set from PG Classics, and the belts are really nice. Please share some of those differences. I welcome learning more. I chose this set because it matches the standard OEM buckle and tips for my 1970 Barracuda better than any other set I've looked at.

Well done. Had I known the battery was on the trunk, this is where I would have started.

hmm. it might be interesting to note how difficult it is to crank without the spark plugs installed. With them removed, compression ratio is off the table.

originals can be super hard to find. you may have to make do with aftermarket until you can find OEM. it's taken me years to complete a stolen setup.

These look really good. Can you give me an image of the casting numbers that is in focus? Shipping will be to 95472.

the automatic OEM transmissions were bare aluminum metal. possibly with overspray from engine paint, although this isn't consistent. But the four speeds (also bare metal) may be improved using a metal finish product. An aluminum transmission that is discolored can be made bright again using a...

A lack of a power or disc brake code (although, the B11 code may be on the broadcast sheet) suggests standard option manual drum brakes, front and rear. and for a 1971 BS-car Cuda, this is the "B11 - heavy duty manual drum brakes" which is 11x3.0 in the front, 11x2.5* in the rear. I see...
