Hey Mike, did you ever find that 66?
I tried to find my old one also, no luck.
I sold mine in Grapevine or Irving TX
years ago to a Livingston Motors.
It could have been in Garland, after 20 yrs.
details get a little fuzzy....
Sorry to say, no. As I stated before, it was a longshot after 30 yrs., but it was worth a shot. Good luck with yours though.

Is that an Air/Fuel Ratio Monitor in the center in front of the shifter?

Yes it is.
Runs off the engine vaccume.
Some call it a vaccume gauge.
Monitors your economy.
When it reads high on the 'power',
youv'e got your foot to the floor.

Some of these were equipped with
a tach in the same spot. But this
one has the elusive side-winder tach
on the dash.

Thanks guys. It is going to be a lot
of fun. Something nice to go to some shows.

Aron, Fredricksburg is only about 60 miles
from Marble. They also have an annual show n shine
in town sometime this summer here too.

Do some of the members load up and drive down
for the Fredricksburg show every year?
That would be cool to meet up with some of you guys.

Headed up to DFW in the morning
around 5:30 am to pick her up.

The engine only has 300 mi. on it,
so I will be adding the Lucas zinc plus
to the crankcase, put the top down
and DRIVE IT! It's only a little over
300 mi. back home. Wish me luck guys, Adam.

What a ride! Smiles all the way.

Well got home safe and sound
yesterday with no issues except
for the timing being a little too
far advanced.

With the help of my neighbor and the
other side of her garage being vacant
untill I can get mine ready, all is good.

Eric, our paths will cross one day...
I will be looking forward to meeting up
with some of you in Fredricksburg this
Nov. for sure.

New tranny for the old girl.

The junk away is out.
Making room for my upgraded
350. Guarenteed to hold up to
the 400 E block. Time will tell.
For $1200, it better.
