NICE ! I have a weak spot for 62's.
 
And, the perfect Torgue Thrust wheels too. Where did you find LH lug nuts, or did you change the studs?

I got lucky actually on finding those lug nuts... Three places in town were possibilities and I almost didn't go to the last place that had them. Nothing at our Les Schwab store in a custom left handed chrome lug nut and they only had 3 lefties in their stock. The local NAPA store didn't have any but the Carquest parts store had them sitting on the shelf, perfect shoulder match to the 20 right handed ones that I received with the wheels! Just got lucky!
 
Got it torn apart doing the engine work as when I bought it, it was a poor running 77 440 and during the overhaul I decided to take it to a 512. Just got it back in the car last week. Lot's of wiring yet to do and the new electric fans on a new radiator. Getting some more interior work done too along with a new hidden mount stereo. Can I get some help identifying what the "SELECT" electric module might have done on this set-up. It's on the firewall to the left of center looking at the picture. I think the transmission might have had a temperature sender and wondered if this was part of that as the engine and tranny might have come out of a motorhome? I think I will just remove it but wondered about it's function....
