Thanks b-man.

Without a doubt, it is embarrassing actually. At least I don't drive like an idiot : ) tailgating speeding around town and such and very cognizant of what is going on out front and to the sides. But I totally agree. In fact I have the A arms, spindles, tubing, prop valve, master cylinder and booster out of the 1969 GP I took the 428 out of. But then this brings up what HO did way back when with the 1964 GTO, Kern's I think, where they used I think A arms from a 73-77 or so A body with which the improved geometry made a handling improvement. For all these parts including a 8.5 I could part out my 1974 LeMans! Ugh, that would make me sick.

Did you happen to run your car for a short time with smaller front drums?
