I bought a belt line (window felt) kit for my 65 coupe, but am a bit puzzled. The four long pieces for the doors came with the metal clips attached, as expected.

Two of the rear quarter window strips have the clips, two do not. Is there some sort of adhesive installation for the inside or outside of those? Or is this a defective kit?

Now I know of Tom Morana's 4.3 stroker kit.

Supersix has the stage 3 heads and cam..with rods and pistons...

Anyone with motor know-how...

Should I just get the Stage 3 heads-cam...and the set of rods and pistons?

And since it's not called a stroker kit...isn't that essentially what that is?

and what numbers can I expect...at least around 250RWHP?

Answer from them...

NO!!! You will not need friction mod with their gear oil...it's in there already.

Just thought I'd spread that.

If I turn the radio off before leaving the car and then return, it does the same thing powering on and doing as described above.

I've also had it start initializing CD when I hit the remote alarm and open the door.

The strange part is that NONE of my pre-programmed stations are reset. They are still in the radio. But everything else gets reset to defaults.

Anyhow has anyone had this kind of issue?

Also.. I let me car sit for 4 days, and when I went out the battery was dead. I think the radio killed the battery.
