<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>Hey all,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>i'm new2 the list & would greatly appreciate some help.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a 64.5 mustang w/ straight 6, 1 bbl stock carb & lots of work to do. I am really not that knowledgeable a/b engines & wanted to increase my low end, get some better gas mileage & dependability.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was told that converting to a 2bbl holly & adding some headers would get me started. Any advice for the intake, carb or headers (brand?/type?/style?)? Where should I look to get these parts? Is there any other work I should look @ doing while I've got the top off? I am thinking of getting the NPD Pertronix Flame Thrower Distributor Coil & Ignitor Elect. Ignition, anyone have these or any comments pro/con?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>plus, should i invest in a negative wedge camber kit? NPD has them for ~$240</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Oh, btw: I am wanting to change my shitty drum brakes over to discs. I _Cannot_ find any granadas or monarchs worth the s/h (none locally-MS) to get the spindles from. Is a kit (NPD) my best option? I would rather have dependable brakes that PERFORM than cheap ones that just work. I'm not rich, tho, just wanting to do it right

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thanks for the help!<BR>(I need all I can get to do this restoration right.)</DIV>

For a street car, probably not worth the trouble

You still have 4 lug wheels so you should change the rears also to 5 lug.
