Nice little drive. She sounded good and seemed to pass the test spin with flying colors. Thanks for letting us ride along.

well decent day at the junkyard, got a good set of drivers door hinges off a suburban , a couple of temp senders for my gauge, and all the chrome trim that goes around the grill, and found a brand new set of A/C delco wires on a 85 chevy truck that was a CFC victim and a good hood release cable. Also found a perfect bench seat out of a suburban  that I will use the covers and foam off of to fix mine.

Sounds good.  What muffler did you use?

Muffler is a Pro flo  single in dual outlet, it was on the truck when I bought it..
 I swapped out my vac advance canister for a old one I had on another dist , that had a shorter stroke, so I didn't get so much initial vac advance,  reset the timing and this last tank was 14mpg up from 11MPG last tank and that was even some highway time and a tiny hole weeping gas out of the bottom of the tank. Picked up my core support and lower valance today from the guy and started installing that along with the surround molding I picked up from the junkyard..

Got to pick up a headlight harness and then start on the bodywork.
