I am curious of how the offset works. There seems to be so many choices. I am looking for a 15/16 inch wheel that I feel like 8 inch would be nice look. I would like to see the wheel come to the fender possibly past abit. Really feel the wheel well with some sexyness. I am running 1 inch lower springs, no flares and stock everything else. What does offset do ? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

The engine was rebuilt. No I did not replace the sender ( in fact I zinc plated it) which left me wondering if that process damaged it. I am pretty sure all connections are correct. I do not know if there about voltage. I need todo some testing and break out the good ole wiring chart. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Thank you for the info guys. It is a 1971 I did put a 123 ignition on it and from what I can remember it worked. I got the car back from paint thought I would hook up some interior things so I turned the key on and that is when I first started noticing the tach pegging out. I will put the old Distributer on the tach to see what happens Steve. Thank you again Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Tachometer is pegging to 8k every time key is turned on. Is there any test that can be done to confirm it is the tachometer that is no good? Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Has anyone had and success with polishing the pits and scratches (left by wiper blades) away? I believe I have a original windshield that would be worth trying this to. Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

I am trying to find a stock looking mirror with a larger base to cover some holes for aftermarket mirrors. I really like the ones from msa which are in photos below. However the base is not long enough to cover one of the holes. Anyone have idea where to get ones that look close. I really like the oval/oblong shape Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile

Headliner went on great, now I am ready to tack on the header trim and side rail trim. To me this process would be way better with a brush on cement. Is there something that is good that isn’t so hard to track down Sent from my iPhone using Classic Zcar Club mobile
