1972 Polara 4 door sedan

I robbed this trunk lock from the 73....someone had removed the old one without regard to damaging the lid, but this pretty much hid the damage.

Ok, fess up. How many people have that key fob? I do...

Mmm, maybe should do a thread on our key fobs. I know I have a bunch because of a bunch of different cars.

I wonder if those are still available? The one I have came with the 73 Spring Special I bought a few years back.
 
Unless I hit the lottery I’ll have to trailer it there!
You wouldn't be the 1st person to trailer a C body to the Volo show, right @Xenon ?
Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do...besides it would be easier to swap these seats/headliner/windshield if you were parked next to it! :poke:

In light of the evidence of overheating,I don’t trust this thing either. So, a rebuild is in store.

Is this your car? Great article!
Definitely a great article! I’ve always had problems with those Holley 2210 carbs. I never knew the reason why they all cough and pop like they do. (All the ones I’ve had anyway, and that’s plenty) I won’t tolerate them anymore. I put an intake and 4bbl on anything I get with a 2210 asap even if I have to install a stupid conglomeration such as this old single plane Tarantula and a 750!

Yes, it is and since then have done some more modifications by removing the vacuum amplifier and the vacuum line routing. Way better now. That was courtesy Daniel Stern who emailed me about things he noticed. I just got a second email from him and how to improve the lighting of the car, in particular, brake lights, back up lights, and turn signals all the way to using proven LEDs rather than most of the other stuff that he feels is junk. The email is practically an article on many improvements. I'm still reading it.
