I think I'm going to switch to the smaller mirrors myself. Where did you get those?

I got them at Classic Industries. They said they're for both LH and RH. The mirrors themselves were, but the rubber mounts were not. The mounts are made to tilt the assembly up above the bottom of the window opening so you can see the whole mirror. The problem is, is that the mount is square on one end and slightly rounded on the other end to match the base of the mirror assembly, and there's a little knob in the back that goes in a hole in the door. Works great on the LH side, but on the RH side the mount is then upside down and places the mirror below the window opening. I modified it to work but if I were you I make sure it wasn't a universal fit mirror.

It took me awhile to find the right set online. Finally found them in the Rockauto clearance bin for under $7.

After weeks of troubleshooting my lack of having a high speed ac blower fan setting...I finally said screw it!!
I installed a seperate switch mounted in the ash tray just above the cigarette lighter socket that is wired directly to the ac/heater blower fan motor. I now have....ultra high speed ac, vent or heat capabilities. In the end, I think that there is a wire missing from the oem factory ac speed switch and the motor.

Well I've talked myself out of the dipping the exhaust manifolds. I like the affect, not sure if I want it in my engine bay.
Anyway, I painted them with silver high heat. They are nice, just look too plain. I bought some shelf mat today to play with to maybe give it a carbon fiber look. Below are pics on cardboard. Now to figure out what I want....and duplicate it on the exhaust.
The left section of each pic is silver based with black sprayed over the mat, the other side is black based. The lower you go in each picture, the more angle I put to it. At the very bottom of each, I came it at the same angle, from the other side with a 3rd color (what I had laying around...not what I'll use).

got my wiring issue figured out from last night. hooked up the wires Saturday and Sunday attempted to connect the battery. to no avail nothing but a small click happened in the starter. turns out there was a bad connection at the battery with a small amount of corrosion.
heres the video of today and it turning over, mind you I have no fuel connected at all so sorry its like someone singing "Chilis baby back ribs" and just repeating "baby back, baby back, i want my baby back, baby back...."

Replaced the adjustable vacuum can on my HEI, because I adjusted it too far (engine idles at 8" in drive), it detonates on medium throttle up hills (10.9:1 compression, 305 heads).
Installed a VC1703 which is still too high for an all-in can (10") so the idle is a bit erratic (I love it). Detonation seems to be gone.
I had a limiter to 12° with the old can, but this can pulls up to 18° - no detonation on cruise that I can tell, might even see more mileage (getting 10mpg, currently).

Yes. You're burning off paint and any oils or finger prints on there. Should go away soon enough.
