Nice! Dad's got a fuel-injected 1776cc with a Berg 5-speed in the '60.

Wow that looks really clean! how's he like the berg 5 speed? oh and what kind of fuel injection is he running?

Its based on an earlier SDS (Simple Digital Systems) set up. The throttle bodies were cast/machined himself (we are pretty handy with fabrication, him more so than myself). Actually this car has a lot of one-off/early modifications. This was his first car and the influence of the Cal-Look movement was far from New England when he was growing up so people thought he was crazy (5-speed/fuel injection didn't come until much much later). The pictures I have are actually really old. The car hasn't changed any but it definitely deserves some better shots.

One-off throttle bodies:


The clock/gas gauge are Saab units modified to match the speedometer. At the time people were asking waaay too much for NOS/OEM Volkswagen analog clocks. The gas gauge came later. Also notice the tilt-column from an earlier (I believe) Oldsmobile:



The mount for the Autometer gauges is an item cast/finished himself. The car has long drowned out any audio so he replaced the radio with idiot lights:



Berg header to Borla muffler, one-off traction bar:



Car lives in the shop/basement:



Sorry for the thread jack!
