1967 Barracuda Formula S 383 daily driver build
I ended up putting the MSD controller box behind the drivers kick panel, made a little panel for the lights below the dash, mounted a toggle off to the left side below the dash to enable the “auto” feature, made a bracket out of aluminum strap to hold the speedo cable at the crossmember & had a new speedometer cable made to go right to the speed sensor without any slop.
It all worked out well & is nice cruising along with the other traffic & not feeling like I am going to be rear ended @ 55mph on the highway.
One thing that is surprising is the firmness it shifts, if it were a warm summer day, shifting from 1st to 1st over, I think it would probably give a little chirp of the tires when hard on the throttle. It’s not just a wimpy feeling OD engagement like an old 80’s 700r4.
