Haven't installed the new Rev-N-Ator yet.  The first one I received was defective.

On a side note, does anyone run Autometer Gauges with a console?  If so, opionions on where to mount tach, etc. would be appreciated.


I'm having my standard gauges renewed by Redline.  They are mounting an oil pressure gauge where the blank spot is and a tach next to the speedo an moving the fuel where the Alt meter is since that is basically worthless IMO.  They are also re-calibrating the speedo, resetting the odometer since I am putting in a new engine, drive train and suspension, and polishing up the plastic lens.  Here is their link if you are interested: http://www.redlinegaugeworks.com/contact.asp

Some dimly lit shots from inside my garage after I got home from the Mopars in the Park show. 

Very nice looking car Ryan, you drove right by me when you pulled into your spot at the Mopar show. Car looks and sounds great!

How do you know that the ECU box is not in it's factory location ?
Electronic Ignition was an option on the 340 half way through 1971 and this car has it in the proper location using the proper mounting bracket.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.
