Very nice!
Nice to see a no console shifter. Too bad it wasn't PS/PB-less.  I had a 72 Silver 400 Formula that was bare bones, no PS/PB, automatic though with column shift. That thing would run for a 72 400. Congrats on an awesome looking Bird.

Dammit boy - you've lost your identity!
Killer car - detailed piece in another thread here how to fix that fender.  I'm beginning to think I'm behind the curve on picking up one of these beasts!

Not sure about under the hood items but ripping it apart today. Pulling radiator for a re-core until I can find a manual unit.
Im assuming they had one for the manual without a trans cooler hook-ups??? I'll take some detail pictures and post them for review. The fender is going to be replaced with a correct date coded unit. Just have not found one yet but keeping my fingers crossed. Also the grills are wrong color and should be silver with black interior grill grates? Valance signal light bezels? The list keeps growing but thats typical. I just need to draw the line some where just haven't gotten there. |

Grills are all silver. (Go back through my black car thread and see my faux pas when I painted them the T/A style instead of the Formula style). |

Boomershine was a Hot Stuff dealership.
Seems like hardly a month goes by where i don't come across another Invoice for a Judge or RamAir or upper echelon car of some sort that sold new from there. Must have been a pretty good group of guys there back in the days. |

The numbers are all coming out correct including the carb, intake, alternator, block, heads, however the distributor is not a 1112133 its a 1112810 as pictured?
Looks like Im ordering a repop radiator until I can find an original Harrison. The one that was in the car is a no-name 4 core for an automatic. Im not sure what I'll do with that one for now? Has anyone tried the repop radiators? Oh, I also need a fan since the one on the car is also a repop. Could someone post a pic of the correct fan for a manual non-a/c ho car? Thanks, B |

Brew don't know where to look for date codes (cause you know I'm not into all the numbers bud) but I believe I have a Harrison over at the shop with the tag on it pal.... Drop me a call on the cell and I check it out if you'd like....

That car would have come with Unitized ignition. It was not there when Brad bought the car. He purchased a unit from a local guy that had taken it off of a Formula when it was new and kept it all these years. I thought it was from a 71 though. Make sure you are looking up unitized PNs for a 72. I'm jealous that you got this car. It is one of my favorites of SDD with the exception of the Ad Blue/White 74 SD 4 speed he owns. That car rocks.

Thats how big the fan is thats on the car so I know it clears. I just dropped off the radiator to get re-cored even though its technically it works for now.
SDD really didnt want to part with the car however I had something he always wanted too. Worked out well and still in the family where we both have access to them. Bob, get me Brads contact info since I well have to call him and try to get some history even if its a little bit. Thanks! |

Were you taking off the PS pulley?
T.V.S. looks like the '68-9/'71 unit. Need picture of the decal on the side of air cleaner, looks like the '71 style. Is it an early '72 MY? Dist. might have been replaced under warranty. |
