When I first read the title I thought it would be a TV show from the west coast.

That 115 Blue Metalic is so nice! Congrats.

I fixed an oil leak on the front cover, so I took the opportunity to clean the engine compartment. This is not a show-quality job, but it's a major improvement to the picture above (the day I received the car)

That Air Box Definately Stands out in that engine compartment. Couple reproduction stickers and you're good to go. Car looks awesome Gary. Love the color too.

Not only does it look correct, it works correctly.

I'm ready to frequent the local car shows now.

what size tires are those?

[Gary in NJ]

Yokohama AVS ES700, P225/50VR-15. They're a little shorter then stock (23-7/8 v 24-3/4) resulting in a lower car and slight (4%) speedometer error.

If you don't want the car lowered, 16 inch rims would be the correct size with 225/50's.

Gary, Beauty Z! I have the same carb covers on my '71. Did you notice any performance changes when you went back to the stock air box? Thx

[Gary in NJ]

WiZeguy,

Maybe. When I got this car it had so many issues; from the airpods, tight valves, misadjusted carbs, poor ignition - it's tough to tell what had the most impact.

But if we were sitting around having a beer, I would suggest that the air horns on the stock airbox would provide superior airflow at lower speeds as the air horns help to accelerate the air (venturi effect via Mr. Bernulli). Since I spend 90% of the time between idle and 4000 rpm, that type of performance is what is most important.

The pods might have an advantage at 5000 - 7000 rpms.

Awesome, great find!
