Thanks a ton, I just went to Jegs and I think a TCI flex plate #529620 will solve my problems.
I want to use a c4 because of it's small size but I'm lost as for the right converter. I have to use the 50z flex plate that came with the 302 but...
I think open cars should be a lighter color, no metallics, all one color. It's a mater of taste.
This roadster has 12volts, with a flathead 6 volt converted generator. All the early 60's stuff fits, pick up a 12volt, 30amp regulator and you...
