I think I posted this before for "LOS" overspray results, but you can just make out the routing - Maybe?

Restoration / Re: 1967 Power Top Hydraulic Line Routing
« on: July 27, 2022, 04:08:57 AM »
HYDRO-LECTRIC System.
Both my lines go UNDER the body side brace*, It would appear a owner service modification at some point, they put tape around the line because the cylinders move and pivot a bit and this modified routing is resulting in chaffing at the brace edge. New lines are in order in my opinion. Does the Fisher Body Manual show details for F body line install?
Brace = "Body Lock to main hinge support extension brace"

I would concur with FR-7014 Red line Bias like radials from Coker the Firestone Super-sports verion.
Best of both worlds; Radial performance and redline and nice center retro tread.
If you can swing it, Figure out When Coker is at a Meet near you and save on shipping by meeting them there as a pre order situation.
That is what I did to save $$ on shipping.

I would agree with you ^^ Yup, yet I still believe the "Engine plant" could get sloppy with the prescribed placement with regards to alignment - placement variations a bit, or even missing. This item has been reproduced for decades so Even Owner servicing can appear vintage and not represent a factory engine plant install variation.

I would assume the 68's lag due to difficulty in documenting/challenges of Real examples and the Middle year syndrome.
Then the fact that what 1967 production was limited to 1138 units (?)
Both years sales data may also be affected by "private sales" of Real deal cars that trade out of the public view.

First time attending and It was great to meet Chick, David k., Wayne Guinn, Jerry Thompson, Jim Hughes, and a handful of other guys. Wayne Guinn's presentation on Cross rams and HD parts with Jerry Thompson was worth the trip from the west coast. 🙂
AH Crud, please tell me someone Videoed this,,,,,

I am Sorry if I sound Like a FAN-BOY of this vendor, but it just based on my experiences and I fully support this product.
She is 25 Now and they grown up fast, & the Car has been in my possession since Nov 1983
Gardner has a production lead time (For Systems) like ALL supplies these days, be ready for some delay.
I think Scott is echoing the dreaded Muffler "Crimp" debate of a few years ago.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,FWIW

When your purchase a Gardner you can or are eligible to purchase individual service & repair parts to MAINTAIN your installation.
Tires-Batteries-Exhaust, some of the fastest wearing consumable in automobile. R-U-S-T Never sleeps
Call Eric he will sell you a service part to match, I have gone thru 2 different mufflers, I drive my Cars, if you want "Willy Wonka Everlasting Mufflers" try stainless systems.
Claims of "lots" of Poor reviews is Baseless in my opinion. What folks Don't care for is the 'Costs of Quality' compared to inferior Systems.
My Child helped me install the system on my SS396 Decades ago. When Buddies have purchased lesser system only to have to take the car to a Exhaust shop for "Adjustments"
LoL

Ho-Ray! 67/68, gonna need a bunch of revisions I bet, tough combining all the little differences but I understand the need to combine vs single manual per year.
