I’m on my second set of shocks so I would say that we haven’t found the correct set yet. For now I’m going to wait till the car is back on the road to start experimenting again.

Slick idea.

I need to do a little back posting so I can actually post pictures of some of the projects we did on the car this summer.

A few things I wanted to do on this version of the build was to clean up the brake lines and to powder coat the differential. Just
trying to make it look nicer but not perfect as I enjoy having a car that isn't perfect.

A few of these pictures are so I remember how these go back together.

Soon, I will able to use the cool brake line bracket I purchased from Chris at JCG years ago.





It's important to remember how the brackets go on.







Did I ever tell you how much I dislike the smell of gear oil





Simple the best $50.00 yes $50.00 I have ever spent. Now I won't have to worry about smelling up the inside of my truck
when I bring the rear axle to my buddy Ben's so he can clean up the welds for me.





Before



After





Ben also figured he would grind down some of the other flaws from the 70's



Dropped at Pro-Tek Powder Coating in Joliet. Looking forward to having a nice looking rear differential.

I think I need to rename this thread to project never done.

So I finally have decided to update the car to EFI and I wanted something a little different but it had to be already tested by other people not me. No longer have the desire to be the first to create something.

I thought I was just going to talk to the guys at Holley for advise but the soon changed to me pulling out my credit card and ordering a bunch of parts.

This big dawg can hunt!

I’m curious to hear your impressions of the Holley unit. I have the Fitech equivalent (same style intake and throttle body) and the IAC noise is wearing on me. It works fairly well otherwise, but the sound alone may drive me to change.

Sheetmetal intakes make alot of racket. Cheap ones will hammer on the back wall and are worse. Look cool, but I personally would not run one on one of my cars.

Let’s cross our fingers and see if I can survive.

Nice looking new hardware you’ve got there.
