Thanks for posting those pictures from Carlisle - you helped me out a lot. I have the add-on a/c on my '67, but it is missing the idler pulley for the a/c belt. I found a pulley on eBay but there is no where to mount it. From your pics, I see the bracket I need, bolted to the compressor.
Might I suggest American Racing Torq Thrust D or 200s wheels? They almost seem to be too popular (I've seen lots of the D's), but they look great. There is a nice '67 with the 200s wheels at the 1967 Ford full-size registry.

Glad the pics helped out! I wish my engine compartment looked like the vehicles I took pics of.
As for wheels...the Torq Thrust wheels I agree are almost too popular, but it is a classic musclecar look, which is what I'm going for. However, I have been eyeing the American Racing Stics 625:

Still that 5-spoke pattern, but a little different. Regardless of which wheel, I'd definitely have to go with the raised white lettering on the tires.

Lots of cars but I found a couple very nice '67s. Since I'm a fan of the '67s and am in the process of cleaning up my engine compartment, I took a few pics of the cool Galaxies as well as some pics of older Galaxies for ideas for new wheels. Looking forward to getting rid of my hubcaps.
