accel or no accel

I am not certain which way I like it better shooting for that Day2ish look, I also have the Accel yellow wires that are going on next, thanks for any help

Here's my .02, hide the MSD box or change to a period-correct one, do the same with the line-lock. Get rid of the billet throttle return spring bracket, chrome water neck and split-loom covering on the wiring harness. Cal custom, M/T or old Moroso valve covers would be nice (With appropriate air cleaner).

Make sure the Accel wires don't have the big goofy red ribbed boots on the plug ends. I hope this doesn't sound like the Day 2 Police or that I'm some kind of "Expert". This is all just my opinion and things I may use if my junk ever gets finished.

I like the Accel look and yellow wires myself...

The fact you are shooting for the late 1970's/ early 1980's, I would say you are right on. I would like to see how the coil would look placed with a horizontal mounting, but might like your way more. Can't wait to see more pics!

Horizontal mounting so you can read the Accel.

funny I ended up mounting it horizontally, thanks for the input as for every change to make it day2 correct it is going to take some time. Almost ready to share some pics work is coming along nicely.

I am with AC. the Moroso wire seperators and blue wires I think need to be replaced. Use 7mm wire. Any billet or chrome stuff lose also. MSD box would not be there yet. Not crazy about the ribbed wire raceways either. Keep up the good work KILLA!

Part # Chromed & both sway bars with the mounting brackets chromed & the center hood latch brace chromed. Are you thinking this was a later TREND ? ?????

We here in eastern Pa. did not chrome or have chrome things in our engine compartments back in those late 60's early 70's days. At least not in my area.
