    Supercharged guys please help

    I've never been a big fan of FMU personally... at low boost, you should be able to troubleshoot / survive with an Adj FP regulator and 19Lbs injectors. If it runs better without the FMU, then it's either hooked up backwards or it's just too much fuel pressure at the wrong time. If you're...

    convertible top

    The actual tops as a whole are pretty cheap wherever you look. The quality typically is a "you get what you pay for" but it should be $75-$100 variance unless you go with a cloth top. Also, you typically need to get the rear curtain that holds the rear window seperately. They come in the...

    cluster confusion

    You could use a speedcal or programmer to tweak your speedo to get it right. It would not read correctly if you just plugged it in. You could also go with the Simco gauges for about the same cost and they're made specifically to the model car.

    Hand brake cable

    There are 3 cables down there. One is short and runs from the handle to an equalizer. The other 2 run from the equalizer to the respective brakes. How you replace depends on which one. Either way, I don't recall removing the seats. The middle cable from the handle is a popular one to break...
