installed a bad boy horn. 1 bolt, 2 wires. eazy peazy.
installed Taiwan shifter, took 10 minutes top. Shifter has to be shortened about 3" by machinist(he was impressed by quality).
Shifter says 40% shorter throw but cutting it down makes it about 60% and it is sweet. 2nd gear no longer hits my leg.
to get reverse the knob is lifted up(not down) and over.

Bob---man, you are doing what you are supposed to do with these cars---improve 'em!

I looked at that Taiwan shifter as it was highly recommended by an expert but it was too long and they wouldn't shorten it for me. I didn't have someone who could properly shorten it so I went with the CSp which will be fine because other experts recommended that one.

I like your additional gauges too--they look like the one's I'm getting for my car. Your's look good and don't have that "J. C. Whitney" look. What gauges are they---Mine will be CHT and Oil temp.
