1969 Upgrades

[kentucky yeti]

Last year I developed an overheating issue.  It would run 210* or so.  One thing led to another.  ColdCase aluminum radiator. New electric fan.  New thermostat.  New Butler water pump setup.  And the idea to improve the reliability/performance overall.  So it now has a completely new American Autowire harness set front to back, including upgrading to a nice new blade fuse block.

  It also entailed removing my  nearly-new Edelbrock, my newly-installed polished aluminum electric fan, distributor, etc... for this:

And finally, a setup like this needs to be monitored with modern technology so we added Dakota Digital gauges.
