I installed my Newport unit last night, and it seems faster than the one I got from Classic Parts. It cleared the stock choke and will certainly will clear the original radio.
The sweep on the drivers side is somewhat shorter, but I think I just have to compromise a little between the parking position and sweep.
Classic Parts sells a stock looking plastic knob that looks better than the modern knob, but if looks a bit cheesy.
I will look at the swap meets for something old timey, or I would just buy one of those plastic things.
I will "hope" for some rain, and I will give it the acid test.
