....and I have never run out of gas - my father taught me well).
How does that work when you're a teenager with a girlfriend:)

Forget about using a gas gauge. I agree with Jim, the only practical way to measure fuel consumption is to completely fill the tank each time.

The clamp kit that NPD has packaged assumes you will be welding the kit together. The band clamps go in the rear, there are two at the H pipe, and two on the tunnel hangers. If you are going to bolt together the kit you'll have to buy more clamps. As mentioned in the previous post, there weren't any clamps on the original. We've posted all of the parts illustrations in the earlier posts so you can see the assembly.

Robert,
I think the reference to the "dog dish" is nothing more than a standard hub cap.
I'm in Kamloops and will be bringing my car up from California in the spring. We'll have to connect when the snow melts.

17 mpg in fourth gear at 70 mph, 3,300 rpm.
10 mpg in all gears with my foot stuffed in it on back roads!

Very cool! Looks like the sky was the limit on the bidding:)

If it's a case of being the correct VIN numbers but the body style is the only error it's entirely possible. It sounds like your documentation is in order, and all the other variables are consistent with the car. Have you checked all three of the VIN stampings yet?

It's time to buy another Autolite repro battery and it's been 5 years since I bought the last one. Does anyone have feedback to offer on the newest crop of repros? Who has the best one; NPD, Virginia Mustang, etc.???

Would you like him to tell you he didn't or just give some of the money back?

Fellows - going back and editing the first post in a thread this way throws the whole thread out of whack. Someone trying to research the topic in the future won't have a clue what this was about.

The car doesn't have to be numbers matching or original to be in the registry.
It sounds like your real question should be the definitions of numbers matching and original. That topic will foster a lot of discussion as there will be many opinions on the idea of numbers matching if you throw in the notion of an engine or transmission replacment.
You can piece together a restoration and create a numbers matching car. The car won't be original, but the numbers can all match in terms of date codes and part numbers.
With the HiPo cars there is the issue of VIN stamped engines and transmissions that were originally supplied with the cars. A VIN stamped replacement engine or transmission may be numbers matching in terms of date codes and part numbers, and the VIN may be the same, but it's not original.
When you enter your car's details in the registry you should be honest about the condition and originality if you want to be ethical. I don't believe those details are available to the general public or forum members anyway, so there is no real way to determine if someone has misrepresented the condition of a car in the registry unless the forum moderators become aware of a specific situation.

Tom,
Does this mean you've parted with your K code?

Primer and color; no clear coat back then.

OK, I couldn't resist. This one's for all you guys who can remember when;

It would be nice to gather images of all the types. I'll measure the set in the photo I posted earlier and then list the dimensions. If anyone has the other styles it would be worth seeing them. Next question is what plates went with what cars.....

I've been told ,by those older and wiser, that dual exhaust cars had the longer style of tie downs and single exhaust cars had the shorter style. I've never personally seen the shorter style on GT's or K codes.
Don't recall I've ever seen a long and short version; believe they were one size fits all.
