    Hello, Just want to share my roadster and discussed the last modification of it

    I decided to change the repro banjo steering wheel because it is crap quality and I had the chance to find an original one next door, also decided to change the length of the steering column as it was to short . I finally manage to find an old mecanic guy that was able to adjust my distributor, the 286ci is now running much better, and the tach easily reach 5k.
    Also upgrade the exhaust
    Change the main jets of the Edelbrock 94 from 53 to 50, sprak plugs are less black now

    please find below a few picture of the car as it is now

    Running hoodless is much easier for the tune up

    This roadster is awesome! Can you tell me what size your tires are? The stance and proportions are perfect. Excellent job.
