Hi all, I'm building a teardrop camper to use with my Convertible. I'm looking for a pair of 14" 5 lug wheels to use on it. I eventually plan to add poverty caps. Does someone in the Michigan area or maybe eastern Wisconsin have a pair they would part with? BTW, my hubs have a 2-1/2" center...
Welcome from west Michigan!
Best wishes with getting the ol girl back on the road. Sounds like you have a good start... don't forget to work on stopping and steering too.

Feel free to ask any questions, this is an incredibly helpful and knowledgeable place. Civil... did I mention CIVIL?? Yeah, we're that too...
I did a similar swap but it's kinda apples and oranges. Mine makes WAY less power... I used the Modern Driveline retrofit pedal and simulated the stock style mechanical linkage. I'm not a fan of cables or hydraulics. After over 11 years the stuff is still working real well. It is a LOT more fun!
These cars can be made to handle really well with a few basic mods and a good alignment. Remember it's generally not power that breaks parts, it's from shock loads.
If that's the original steering box it doesn't have metric hose fittings. The metric line fittings I've seen have a crimp in the line and an o-ring, not an inverted flare.
That looks like a GM style Saginaw pump.
