Might almost be easier to try to get one of the remote/power releases for now since this won't be a resto for a few years to come But thanks for all the info guys, you have been a great help! My first question (and longshot at that) and I get more responses than I could have ever hoped for.

I'll apologize now for the wave of novice questions I am sure I will flood the board with in the weeks to come. I thought I had a good knowledge base before I bought my '69 coupe, but how ignorant I am now that it's in front of me. Guess working on these modern cars with computers and fuel injection doesn't really prepare you for anything like this. But I'm learning!

Thanks again for all the info guys.
