    68 GTX Rebuild Suggestions from a newbie in Salt Lake City UT?

    Carb is not stock, headers have been added too along with a manifold. Although I have all the stock parts in a box. When I had it dyno tuned it was because I live in the mountains and the car seemed to be running a little rich... Good Question

    68 GTX Rebuild Suggestions from a newbie in Salt Lake City UT?

    It was a stock rebuild. I don't have very much information on it except that a race shop in LA did it years ago. It was a chassis dyno which might explain the low number. As for the smell, I've had a some replies that believe it could be the valves. At least I know I'm not alone on the smell...

    68 GTX Rebuild Suggestions from a newbie in Salt Lake City UT?

    Valves... I'll have to check that out. It scored a 275 on the Dyno and it was a chassis dyno. I guess I expected better. And it was a total stock rebuild. The car is very stock except for some speakers that were put in the back and in the doors along with a CD player in the glove box. I've...

    It was a chassis dyno and it was 275 (I had to find the paperwork). Well maybe it is the valves and then another tune. It's starting to get cold out here so not much driving time left.

    68 GTX Rebuild Suggestions from a newbie in Salt Lake City UT?

    I have an unrestored 68 GTX with 1 engine rebuild from the previous owner at 100,000 miles and now it has 180,000. I'm the third owner and it's a California car. I had it dyno tuned and the horsepower came in around 300 which seemed a little disappointing... So I was thinking about a rebuild...

    Glad to see someone from Utah. I'd like to ask you if there's a shop you recommend if I ever decide to have the engine and trans checked out... I had the car dyno tuned when I first got it. The horsepower was around 300. I was thinking the motor might be a little tired. It's not that big of...

    I got real lucky getting this car over a year ago. Numbers matching with boxes of paperwork and receipts. Super sweet car and it's never been restored. Originally it was green but was painted black around 1980. Black interior and an A/C car. One engine rebuild at 100K miles and it's about...
