Turbine Bronze 67 GTX HEMI 4 Speed

Starting to make progress. However ran into some challenges.

These heater core inlets don't look right after getting the heater box in. Not sure if I did something wrong or what but I imagine they are supposed to stick out evenly and further.

The aftermarket replacement heater cores have shorter tubes that barely protrude through the firewall... Yours look better than mine did... Mine both tubes had less than 1/2" protruding.... I found the tubes are exactly the same size as 1/2" household plumbing copper so I cut the tubes right even with the fiberglass heater box & spliced in 1" of pipe.... four slip couplers, a couple inches of copper pipe & fifteen minutes soldering now the nipples stick out like they should...
 
The heater core tubes look fine, but what's that hole in the firewall above the horizontal portion of the brake line?

Yeah I know. That hole should not be there. Should have gotten welded up but it didn't. I am just going to put a plug in it. I'll be honest was pretty bummed about it.

put a factory plug and most people won't know.

Agreed. It'll be barely seen, if at all, behind the Hemi.

Other than that ordered another front brake line for the fire wall as this plus the ones to the master cylinder just do not seem right. The master cylinder ones are very short from the prop valve.

Need to add the other piece on the frame for the disc / drum rear.

They make 2 different firewall lines and kits. You have the flat one but need the 'rounded' or 'curved' line kit. Mine used the straight one.

Thank you. I did order that one and hopefully will have it soon. Planning on putting the hemi and k member in at the end of the month.
 
I had my hemi built by Ray Barton since the original was long gone.
They had me buy the Aeromotive tank with the efi pump built in. I got it installed today with the hoses to the fill.

However I noticed my fill has a big kink in it. I think I need to bend it back. Curious if anyone has pictures of what it is supposed to look like. Also if there are any tricks to stick something down the tube to straighten it out.


The other part is where to mount the fuel pressure regulator. Anyone have good spots they have put theirs? I want to try to keep it out of the engine bay.

This is the original fill line in my 67 Satellite - no kink.

That small line is the vent tube. Not sure the kink will hurt as long as the tube is open to ambient unless EFI has other requirements. No idea if it can be straightened. I have 1 or 2 spare filler tubes - need to check their condition. PM me if you are interested in an OEM replacement and I'll dig them out.
