    Yes I am. Enjoying it. Still have a slight windshield leak at the lower corners after changing windshield with Steele rubber. Searching the forum it appears I'm not the only one. Slowly gaining. Dave

    What is this

    What is is this, speedo adaptor? I have the pactric's 3:55 rear end , but it had 15 inch tires. I changed the tires back to the original 16 inch tire. Not sure how to improve the accuracy of the speedometer. Thinking about removing it. Dave

    I would~ With all the technological advances, if you have a cell phone (I don't and doubt I ever will) you can get an app that will tell you how fast you are going through GPS.
    Then you'll know when it says you are doing 40, you really are doing 57.

    Looks pretty nice to me .

    There are many different speedo drive gears you can fit to trannies , I am not sure what tranny you're running .

    You can also buy compensating gear boxes that fir in the speedo cable....

    Thanks all, I am running a 4 speed on the floor transmission with 3:55 rear end and 16 inch tires. Original size I believe.
