i never thought about the chest= forward impact.your right,good idea.tilt safety was fed mandated in 1967.so were many other must do items.
i never have been a big fan of aftermarket accessories,i stick as much as i can to stock with all the stuff i sell.the old cars are drying up so the supplies are getting tight.very clever to use the coarse tooth gears.the 53 looks nice.
i do gotta say,the Sun tack brings back the old days.i put a bracket on the dash(73 Cutlass"S") with a square 1/2" socket male and female.i mounted the Sun Super right in front of the steering wheel.when i had to park the car somewhere it might get stolen i would just take it off the dash unplug it and put it in the trunk.the tach went with the car when it sold.i wish i still had it.
what's the craziest engine swap you ever did?i'm a Pontiac guy and had a big thing for putting Pontiac motors in Chevy's.
i was also big on customizing my cars.Ahhhhhhh the good old days.
