Great looking Tempest! I prefer the Tempest rear taillight treatment to the LeMans---so much so I converted my Lemans racecar into a Tempest.

FYI, you can post as many as five pictures with each post. Just keep repeating the upload process while you're on the "Manage Attachments" screen, until you have them all up there.

Good luck with your car.

Default 4 bbl.

Keith, your 4 bbl looks way different than mine and the carb is facing the passenger side rather than the front?

Thats due to the intake manifold. Look close & you will see that its a dual plane manifold. This is a 61 only manifold. Very heavy, twice the weight of the 62-63's. The 62-63 manifolds are a single plane. 61= more torque,,62-63= more Hp.
