I have a 70 Barracuda I bought a few weeks ago. It has a 340 with a 727 trans. I want to add an electric fan and in the future EFI. I noticed there isn't any where to add the temp sensors.

I just bought a 1970 Barracuda that was made into an AAR clone. It was originally a 383 2 barrel engine. It now has a 340 (not sure what year). The paint is okay but is blistering and bubbling up in a couple of spots. I assume the paint was sprayed over the rust. My question is, if I repaint the...
