Also while removing the radio....he left me a signature on the OE radio for whatever reason. Wonder what he was thinking when he did that?




Cool! Maybe it was for security reasons, like if it ever got stolen?

Maybe , like if the car was even stolen you could tell the authorities to look on the radio decal I wrote my name on it?

May be the radio was taken out for repair? Can you write on the sticker with it installed in the car? Or does it need to be removed? There is a bulb inside that lights up dial if I recall...

That build sheet is in very good condition! I would get a plastic report cover and store it in a safe place. Make sure VIN matches your car if you haven't do so already.

He might have sent the radio in for repair at one time and they or him wrote his name on it ?  :dunno:

347/389 on a mustang dyno.....was hoping closer to 400 but have been told what a lot have told me already....the intake manifold and carbs are killing it. O well, we'll see what the future holds.

I believe that it's a nice hp number for a 440 car... Now if you decide to "kick it up a notch" then hp is easily obtainable... :burnout:
