67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver

This past weekend I went back to where the car is to get a little more wheel time and address some issues. I made the signal wire from the bulk head connector to the coil and pleased to announce the console tach works!! pretty dang cool!. I tightened up the belts and re-routed the fuel filter line so it wouldnt hit the belts. I raised the front end a bit and fixed a brake leak I was having at the right front caliper. I bled the brakes and the pedal feels great and consistent.

Engine temps still creep up on the road, but I guess that is expected on a newly rebuilt engine. I saw I have some clearance issues with the Z-bar and the header. Not to sure what I am going to do about that. I also felt a steering clearance with the headers as well. I have a spring clip holding the steering shaft coupler together and that clip is hitting the header. So I am going to have to remove that. Over the winter I may try and eliminate that coupler all together for a more common joint, I hope there is a how too on here.

Other than that the car ran good. I think I am getting a little back fire through the pipes at moderate throttle, so I will try to tune it and check the dwell.
