Vette(s): ' 76 Customized .Mid year rear window ( ' 67 style ). It has an '80 nose,'80 rear bumper , and a 76 hood . Also , I squeezed in a ' 94 Vette LT1 . Paint is a custom mixed BLACK with RED PEARL mixed in !

I wish I could tell you how it runs ( on the street ), but, it hasn't seen any driving yet    ! I only know that it sounds great sitting still . The only thing I changed on the engine was to add a set of headers, and get rid of all the emissions ! Everything else is stock . Hopefully, after this a/c bug is fixed, it'll be kicking a few butts around  . I just may need new tires if it runs half as good as it sounds  .

Vette(s): 1968 Conv, 454HO,500HP-600TQ, TKO-600,3:70 HD rear,hotrod air, custom paint & suspension,1973 Ruby Red,T-top, 383 Stroker, TK)-500,frame off restro, 1967 Dodge Coronet, 340 stroker to 406, Dana 60

OK couldn't fingd my chart, but called a friend of mine & he said depending on air flow across the condenser, underhood temp, outside temp & humidity the low side should be 28-35 & the high 225-350 with the inside temp around 45 degrees. I would suggest taking it to someone who has gauges & getting an exact reading which as you see depends on a lot of conditions. That is one sharp car.. I like the mods.

A few Vette guys have listed similar readings . As I said , I'm not quite sure what it reads now, but will inform the shop of these settings !

What you see is how I bought it  . The rear window was a good selling point I'd say . It now has an ' 80 nose and rear bumper . God willing, one day it might see the street  .
