67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
I spent some time at the folks place last week and got some stuff done on the GTS. I spent way more time researching carburetors than I probably should have, but found some good information on the carb that is going on this car, as well as the carbs on the polara and charger. Apparently the 71 440 carb is jetted differently and has smaller primaries than the 70 440 carb. Who knew?! I was able to locate a 70 440 carb in my dads carb stash, so I removed the one from the charger and will put the 70 carb on next time I am in. Also in that stash was a 69 440 holley that had 65 jets in, so I removed them and put them in the holley that I installed on the GTS (which is a 72 440 carb).
We had a glass guy come out and install the windshield and back glass!! it came out really well! I ended up going with the 68 and above stainless trim around the windshield instead of the 67 trim. I think it turned out nice.
I also adjusted the windows as well. This is slowly moving along but next time I am in I would like to buff the car and start to install some trim!! other than that the list keeps getting smaller with getting that bracket made for the dip tube, connect the exhaust, chroming the bumpers, seat foam, tires, buffing and head liner, getting a 7290 drive shaft, tail light bezels, fixing the coolant leak at the header bolts, and installing the trim and interior!
