MSD makes a distributor with Corvette tach drive. Part no. 8572. Not exactly an HEI because you have to use a 6A or 6A-L box with it. Also much more expensive than the typical HEI. Distributor is $350 and 6A box is $185 at Summit. I've been running this setup on my 63 with good results.
Red is almost impossible to remove without heat. Previous owner put red on the ignition shielding wingbolts on my 63. :mad I have no idea why. I destroyed four of them getting them off.

I am missing one of the pieces of stainless outer rear window trim for my SWC. It is the one at the bottom of the window looking from behind the car. Can this be made by cutting down a bottom piece from a '64-'67? Is the cross-section of the trim the same? Thanks for any info.

Thanks, guys. It's the fluorescent shop lighting and my cheapo camera. It's really Riverside Red. Plans are to pull the numbers matching motor and trans and stash them in a corner of the shop. I'll replace that with a ~500 bhp 383 and a 5 speed conversion so I can actually cruise the freeway...
'63 Split Window coupe. I'm more of a hot rodder than a 'Vette guy, although I had a '65 coupe for a couple of years. I'll try not to ask too many dumb questions! I've already learned a lot reading this board. Good stuff.

Did both of your cars have factory side exhaust? I am working on a deal on a '63 coupe and if I end up with the car, I am considering the Hooker side exhaust. However, I refuse to cut the body. I will only do the side pipes if I can put it back to stock. I thought I read somewhere that the...
