I finally got around to installing the rear trunk shock kit from Ken Schipper. It is a must on V8 cars as the torsion bars that hold up the trunk get removed in the conversion to make room for the distributor, and great if your torsion bars are tweaked on a Porsche motored car. (much more civil than a stick as a trunk prop) They are available on ebay. Don't remember how much.


Has anyboby out there installed a battery in the front trunk in place of the windshield washer bottle?
Will one fit there? Feedback please.

I had not thought there was room there for a battery. I'll go down stairs in a minute and look. A good idea if it works. My sister lives in Lafayette and I will be there to visit and go to the Parts Heaven swap meat.
Cheer, Elliot
