It has a 305 3sp. tires are 295/55/15
So far, I have
rebuilt the carb, po installed an electric fuel pump "just to get it started"
removed the electric pump
repaired wiring- hardest was fixing where it was cut at steering column connector
swapped steering column with one from a junk yard YEA turn signals!
turned headlight right side up. yes they can be installed sideways.
adjusted timing
painted grill black
repaired clutch rod (bent back strait, removed washers)
sprayed undercoating on back wall and gas tank
removed wire under hood that ran back all around, was spliced 3 times and hooked to 12v+ at each end.
Cleaned painted new q-jet intake
installed seat from 89 Chevy truck, also carpet for back wall, and seat belts
started scraping paint from dash.

I hit a junkyard Friday, got a intake and q jet for $50 and a steering column from a 63 3/4t for $50. ran the numbers and intake is from a 71 Vett (& other 270hp 350s) and q-jet is one of the 800 cfm versions. I wondered why he dug threw parts for so long to find the "right one" for me.

Picked up the seat and seat belts today for $60 Everything is a nice easy fit
Back wall carpet should help noise some. Need to pick up bolts to belts Monday and make backing plates.

And take more photos.

Plans are for a quick cheep semi gloss paint job, with a pearl white top, some ghost flames and stuff. getting the POS wheels & tire off, installing spun disk.

I know original!
