Those darkened lenses really do the trick on that - go so well with the colour of the car.

Can't remember if the temp gauge should be at 40deg or -40deg with no sensor connected....but I'm guessing that it's either disconnected on the back of the cluster, or the sensor isn't attached...or something. Vacuum gauge looks to be working AOK...the needle is in the right place at idle. Phew!

cheers

The carb ones are geared for about 160mph at 6000rpm, from memory. They're quite a bit taller than the GLTs, for sure.

The 740 is geared for 165mph on the 6500 limiter. I couldn't possibly comment on whether or not it can reach it. Except to say that it can.

cheers

Good job 740s are heavy old things eh?
