Like the last Muscle Car I baught (1965 Galaxie 500 390 4v, schweeeeet) the previous owner of my 70 xr7 did almost the same things.
1. he pulled off the fan shroud and installed a flex fan.
And an electric fan. No. No. No. In my opinion, if you pull the shroud, you might as well get rid of the fan too because it aint gonna do much without a shroud.
2. I am not sure if i have the original carb on it, but the spacer is gone and the vacuume advance line is hooked up to static vacuume port. no good. needs to a port below the butterflies.
3. Installed headers, thats okay. But he installed glass pax right after the headers then nothing. Loud and not enough back pressure for street driving.
4. blue fuzzy seat covers. its like sitting on a muppet.
5. lakewood Traction bars. ok. but not for me.
6. Good. he swithed to a pointless ignition. (Allison Elect.)
7. yanked the a/c compressor.
8. jacked with the wiring for the switches in the center of the dash.
I suppose this is typical.
