Tach & rim/tire sizes

[irishnyc]

I just got a 67 A code with the delux interior (4 speed) pics at http://fairlanetorino.com

Q 1, does anyone have (eom, nos or repro) a tach to replace the right side pod? that has volatage and temp

Q.2 the car came with the styled wheel's that look very cool but they scare me that they are 14x5 inch... what size rims/tires do you run and what sizes do you know of people running... for example i'd love to see if they make repo styled whleels like i have or torq-d's in either 14x7 or 15x8 if they will fit on the car...

thanks alot... I was origianlly a torino guy (evidenced by my two torino's) I always love the 67 fastacks and was looking on ebay for the last year and a half until i saw a deal i could do...

The car has horrible brakes, I ordered a powe r disc coversion should be on the car in a few weeks, I am not sure about the powertrain... I am used to my big block 429/460's and have never made small block power but i am considering edlebrock heads and the early mustang supercharger option (unless i get a really good deal on a cleavland my race shop has sitting around...

thanks again...

No, didnt know there was one. Theres a ton of clubs/discussion groups I should be in, but then Id be on the pc more than I already am. No pics I can load on here.

Anyway, its the first and only car I have ever owned. Friday, May 20, 88 from the original owner with 47xxx miles. As was, 351W, C6, 2.75 open diff. Laser stripe, fastback Sport. 14X7 Magnums with spare rim included. Split bench seat, ginger cloth. Column shift. AC (removed), ps, pb.

As is, Edel Performer, Holley 1850 600 vac sec, 5.0 stock headers, 21/4 exhaust with Super Turbos, Richmond 3.50 gear with 4 pinion Trac Loc, B&M kit, 14X6 K&N on Moroso drop base, MSD Blaster 2, Mallory Unilight conversion, recent MSD Blue spiro wires, Derale flex fan to be replaced with Flexilite, recent three row radiator upgrade, 15X8 Centerline "Hammer" wheels with BFG RTAs, "soft" rebuild at 57??? miles and 750$ worth of anti roll bars, urethane bushings and steering parts awaiting installation.

A 507 stroker 460 is planned, but now my focus has shifted to the build up of the Mustang Ill get in mid March so I dont know when that will happen.
