It took way to long but, she's back on the road! New kiddo takes priority though but here's the update, while she was down we re-jetted the Holley, replaced the u-joints, rear axle and control arms, brake pads and shoes, and a new headlight retractor and combo switch. All functions great and the re-jet made a huge difference, pulls great straight through the rev band idels pretty smooth drives great! Hopefully this is the last major ovehaul for a while so I can get decent shocks and rear tires on,then some tlc for the sheet metal attention. Pics later.

Short quick update, most recent upgrades/repairs new shocks and front tires, Tokico Blue's and had to go 175/70/R13 so with the rears having limited miles it's now a stagered 185/70 rear 175/70 front. Replaced the accelerator pump diaphragm as well. Next on the list in no particular order are new engine and trans mounts, a solution to the trans cross-member bushings, new springs, front end bushings (add rear sway-bar to that), and install my manual fan override switch. After this I intend to get to work on the interior and exterior issues. She get's a bit more sorted with each passing month.
