Nice collection of cars. Glad to see you are enjoying them all.

As mentioned previously, I upgraded to the Unisteer PS set up for a couple of reasons. My manual box was wore out and was not fun to drive. I also wanted to switch to a PS setup as I have a bigblock, with wide front ties and was converting to a 5 speed, and honestly didn't feel safe doing that with the manual set up. I never liked the stock style PS set up so opted for the Unisteer set up. I have no complaints and it has worked great for me and was very easy to install.

Agree 100% with this. I personally talked to Shaun multiple times before deciding to buy from him, and have heard the same about John and Sherri. Shaun talked through all of the options, multiple times and I never once felt I was being sold or pushed to anything I didn't want. I ended up with his full coilover setup with Street valving and Unisteer PS and COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. Can't go wrong with either option and for sure they will have something to fit whatever budget you have!

Yeah I guess it could be. I just bought mine earlier this year. That is one of the reasons I liked this kit as I didn't want sequential for the brake lights.

If I remember correctly there is a dip switch that you can flip or a dial you can turn that will be full on for brake and not sequential, unless you tap the brakes quickly. That is how mine are, as I did not want sequential on the brake lights, only on the turn signal. I added the instructions from Gary below. Installation Instructions for 1969.pdf

Didn't mean to give you more work, HAHA. Good thing is, its not a hard job! I am very happy and actually feel safer on the road, as I have heard many stories of people not being able to see the brake lights on our older cars.

I too installed the Vintage LED set up recently. You can see it is pixelated some compared the stock bulb with just the lights on. But as bright as they are, I should have done it much sooner and VERY HAPPY with the quality and ease of install of the Vintage LED product. I did the front turn signals and back up lights as well. Here is a quick video as well of the, it does flare the camera a little as bright as they are, but I love the setup. I also like that when you hit the brakes it can do just solid and on sequential. 20200523_112043.mp4

That looks great. Nice work!

That is a good looking motor right there! Nice job!

New ignition switch?

I am assuming he doesn't have a shaker set up? I am running box stock Edlebrock heads and Performer RPM intake with no shaker set up and have no hood clearance issues.

Nice looking car. Love the color!

Understood. You could possibly do the same set up just use the Carb Regulator. If you ever switch to EFI, just swap out the regulator. And yes the right PTFE is not cheap and I did get the good stuff as I read the same things about the pin holes. Certainly didn't want that issue.

When I first converted to EFI, I had an external pump and had issues with vapor locking with heat. Converted to the Aeromotive Drop in pump and never looked back. I ran PTFE lines up the passenger side, just on the outside of Subframe connectors. Put the regulator in the passenger fender well and deadhead the feed to the FiTech unit, which it is capable of handling. That way I am not sending fuel into the engine bay to get heated and sending it back to the tank. Just trying to keep as much heat out of the fuel as possible. Seems to be working so far in NC summer heat. Can't even hear the pump with the car on.

Check the grounds. They could be corroded or you might need more. I had the same issue, and changed out all of the ground wires and made sure the connections were good and that helped out.

Sorry to hear this. Wishing you and your family all the best with this fight!

Call Shaun at Street or Track and talk to him as well. Great guy and very knowledgeable and great product. I am running it front coilover set up and could not be happier. He never tried to sell me anything, just talked about the advantages of what he offers. Lots of options out there and good people to talk to., Get as much info as you can and decide what is best for you. Can't go wrong with either of them.

Nice. What does it run now?

Good looking motor. Good luck with the sale. That will be a strong engine for someone.

Would love to do this upgrade one day. Keep us updated once you get it installed and on the road.

Thanks!

Its pretty "basic". I am running Street Or Track coil over setup up front and adjusted to the height I liked and needed for clearance (Damn long tubes). The rear is mid eye spring with 2 in lower blocks. Fenders were all rolled at body shop when it was in for paint to make as much room for the larger tires as possible.

I have seen that car in person, its a very nice car. They put up a build thread on the car here

Thanks, your looks awesome too!

Those are some great pictures. Thanks for sharing 2 things: 1. that CUDA is bad ASS!! 2. WTF ?? HAHA - The track is located 19 miles south of the Arctic Circle - that is a bit crazy to think about. Hope to get to see yours back on the track soon.
