Sweet Baby Jesus. This hits a VERY sore spot with me. When I tried to install my windshield in my '55.1, it also would not fit. Seemed too big...
I had mine done as an all original drivetrain, etc. Just like Evan says, it was great around town at 40 MPH (50 MPH with the engine SCREAMING)....
Where did you buy the kit from? Andy
Hi Nick, Just changed it to "Classic" style. It's definitely more familiar. Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Maybe Nate will come back now....
Thanks Evan, I'll just go with a Pertronics or Mallory unit in my stock dizzy and carry an extra module and set of points with me too. Andy
[IMG] [IMG] Anybody know if this dizzy will work in my 235? Guy calls it a GM straight HEI dizzy. Thanks, Andy
Hi Nick, Thanks for listening. I'm going too try that first thing in the morning. I hope everyone else will too...including Nate. I will give...

I like it. Welcome. More pics. More story. That's just a tease. Come on!!!!!! Andy
I like the truck. Have always liked the Stude' trucks. I also like the idea of the BMW seat. I bet it's comfortable as anything. Any more pics...
Pop open your distributor. If it has points, set the gap on plugs to 0.035. It there is a little black box where the points should be, you have...
If your old plugs were gapped at 0.060 I would suspect that you have a Pertronix electronic ignition device. If you do, then that is why the new...
My advice would be to NOT pull the engine and rebuild it. A common swap back in the day was to replace the 216 with a 235. If that was done you...
That exact pitting on my passenger axle caused me to replace that seal at least four times. Always leaked. Always caused problems with braking....

If you are going with a stock type truck with original type driveline then the replacement harness is the way to go. If you are going street rod...
