Daily Driver
I bought this 85 base model back in January, y'all gave me some pointers on what to check for. It ran and drove pretty nice, and then it died 100 miles into the trip home. In 14 degree weather. It has the 305 and th350. Unfortunately someone removed the rpo code sticker from the glove box so I don't know exactly how it was spec'd.
After 2 months of work, it's back on the road as my daily, my hauler, and my constant project. rebuilt and installed a Holley 4011 and a vacuum advance distributor, learned a ton about tuning a Holley carb. It's got new brakes, wheel bearings, jeep steering shaft, new driver door hinge, full emissions delete, and all new window and door seals.
The current project is gauges. It has the idiot light cluster with a broken clock and a speedometer that surges, so i bought the glowshift a-pillar gauge pod and the shadow box from Dixie and I'm putting in an Autometer speedo, tach, and all the accompanying gauges (not all autometer though, I'm not made of money!) Next item on the list is suspension and tires my tie rods and ball joints are pretty nasty, and the tires on the car are over 10 years old.
I am still having a hard time getting the windows adjusted right. Ive watched the videos but it is still a WIP. This winter I'm going to drop a 350 in it and have it painted.
