octane and correct plug gap

[octane and correct plug gap]

on my  rebuilt stock 390 I have a petronix 1 with a flame thrower coil and I am gaping the plugs at 040 it runs fine, but not sure if gap is correct? Also I have been using the highest octane gas at the pump, once again its running fine but do I need the highest octane?

[parking brake]

when my parking brake is adjusted properly for function, the cable rubs the bottom of the factory floor pans causing wear marks and I believe to be a rattle on start up does anybody have any thoughts or fixes?

After buying the car in pieces some 11 or twelve years ago, I cant tell you how good it feel do drive this thing down the road chirping tires through the gears!

[speedometer driven gear]

I have a 69 390 c6 with  3.25 axle ratio and stock14 inch rims on car, the speedometer cable was missing the  driven gear so I purchased on eBay a 16,17,18,19 and 20 tooth set ,does anybody know which one would be correct or which one to start with for correct speedometer reading?

[how to wire the electric choke]

[how to wire the electric choke]

I have the stock fuse block on my 69 I'm not sure how to hook the electric choke  there, I've been given conflicting information on the alternator some say not enough voltage? for sure not the coil, maybe the windshield wiper hot wire? any suggestions would be appreciated.

[brake lines]

so I replaced the brake lines on my 69 and as i was shopping for the new lines I noticed in the comments form 3 different suppliers that they don't fit correctly. On the pass rear side the fitting was pointing down instead of up to go in the cylinder, I think the lines I replaced were original to car and the line that was there had been re bent to make fit. Could it have come from factory that way or maybe someone replaced it a long time ago? What is up with the wrong bend in this part from different manufactures?

[69 fold down seat]

I am converting my mach 1 to fold down seats, I purchased all original parts for 69. installed new sail panels and all fiberglass panels and  fits and looks nice. no matter how I adjust the fold down seat panels they just barley scrape the fiberglass panels on both sides when raising and lowering the seat scratching off the paint,  any tricks to solve this?
