    The fun for me is letting the hammer down on a 40 year old Nailhead and watching the gas gage and the speedo race in opposing directions. When

    Feed a Sheethead

    Just filled the "Riv" up yesterday here in Norfolk, Va. for $2.51 a gallon for 93 octane, Amoco white. I guess that should feed a hungry family of "Sheetheads" for a week.

    would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Those are relay switches. I found them in a place called Clarks Corvair parts.
    You can get a catalog for 63-65 Riviera parts from them on the internet and
