Removed the old ash tray, Polished it up with some chrome polish.
I'll be giving the rest of it a coat of paint.
Before/after
Also, my stock 66' 1300cc motor used only vacuum advance can as listed below:
Vacuum Can: 07 017
Timing Set At:: 7.5deg BTDC Static
Vacuum (Advance Only): 17-19deg @ 1.3 In. Hg, 24-28deg @ 3.2 In. Hg
Since I will be upgrading to a 1600SP engine, I purchased a NOS vac can that was originally used with a 1600SP engine for the proper advance.
Vacuum Can: 07 024
Timing Set At:: 0deg TDC Static
Vacuum (Advance Only): 17-19deg @ 1.3 In. Hg, 32-35deg @ 3.2 In. Hg

Also installed that new Vac can.
I will install the o-ring later.

Since I'm using the CB 2280 cheater cam with this new 1600SP motor, I will be looking to set my static compression ratio to 8.2:1
Due to this cam the Dynamic compression will be slightly higher than stock. (stock is 7.5:1)
Based on the intake valve closing *, rod length, stroke, and bore of the engine.
Static compression ratio of 8.2:1.
Dynamic compression ratio is 7.68:1
Your dynamic cranking pressure is 150.76 PSI.
V/P (Volume to Pressure Index) is 26

Dash cap looks NICE. Does it come with attaching screws on the underside?
You gonna have to drill some holes in that beauty for the handle.  |
Yes, it does have screws, But I choose to have no grab handle. I didn't need/want one.

Well, I got some bad news.
I honestly don't have time with my 3 jobs, to restore this car.
Trying to get a accurate price of what its worth before selling it.
Car as you have seen (needs floor pans replaced)
It comes with:
Two new Denmark made entire floor pans.
No Engine.
100% rebuilt 12 volt swing axle transaxle with a 71'-72' gear ratio (for a 1600 engine)
New door hinge bushings.
Most of the interior is stripped out, but it comes with the original upholstered seats.

Hey man I've been there. If it doesn't sell keep it until you can get back on it. Do you have a place to store it?
On to the pricing, it's gonna be tough to get it what you have in it. A solid roller ghia with a new tranny and no motor needing the pans replaced. Man that's tough. I'll look back through the thread and tell what I think it'll bring in Texas.
On the other hand, I know I'm a long drive away but I'd be happy to store it for you in my shop. It would be safe and out of the way if you don't have a place. Or I might be able to take it off your hands. Like I said I'll look back through the thread and PM you a ball park of what I'd be willing to give for it.
