I'm sure you'll love it. I can confirm that 65 - 70 MPH at 2100 RPM with 390 gear is a reality.

Thank you so much for the Wiring diagram! Man that is probably the most simplest diagram I’ve seen so far haha.
Yes I am pretty lost on how I should mount a kick down switch, how would you suggest I could connect the 4 wires that would connect to the kick down switch to a on/off toggle switch?

That’s great to hear! I’m looking forward to getting her on the road!

No I strongly agree that is a good idea to upgrade the front brakes. I’ve heard drums in the front is dangerous anything over 65
