I briefly installed one on my 67 327 car back in the 80's before I knew a single planet was not a good fit for a stock motor. I used the same linkage. Is the bbc a mechanical lever or a cable?

From what Ive seen from Tuesday prices to wednesday prices, If they rolled out a turd on a plate and said it was from the Pratt collection, it would sell for $200k. The same turd would sell for 1/3 of that without the pratt name attached to it. No disrespect to Mr. Pratt. Just an observation.

My yj coded rally wheels came with the many fingers trim rings when I bought them used in 1981. Dont know if that helps at all.

Why does it have the single master cylinder. I thought 65 was the last year gm put those in cars. With disk brakes too. Looks strange under the hood. brackets look different, coil placement. Very weird stuff going on there.

Have you messed with the relay board under the fender? Whenever mine act up I can usually jiggle one of the plugs on one of the relays and it all works fine again. Mine are the original DD relays. I dont know if youve replaced the whole relay board with new, your car looks a lot nicer than mine. LOL.

I still have mine. I bought my 67 RS in 1980 for $1750. My parents paid half and I made payments to them till it was all paid off. It had fresh paint and stripes but no wheels and tires and no alternator. We came back the next week and it had 4 baldies and a rebuilt alternator. It had 3 lugs holding on each wheel. The guy said to take it easy. My (future) brother in law proceeded to smoke the tires in the parking lot. He looked at me after and said it was ok to buy it. LOL. I drove it through High school and college. It was the party car for me and all my friends. I eventually parked it in 1991 where it has sat til this day. I had not started it for 5 years and I finally got it running again. Brakes need all new hoses and cylinders and such. It might see the road again in the next year. Ive had at least 30 cars and trucks in between but this is the one Ive kept all these years.
