i couldn't turn left!!!
well went to go pick up my free 305 engine today backed the 71 out of my parking place at my apartment went to back it to the dumpester to clean out the back and i couldn't get my wheels to turn to the left got my room out there and found the steering gear box hanging 2 of the bolts had slaped and the other backed out. he pulled me back with his truck and we got it in a parkling place. and procesed to go pick up my motor. i thought i was going to get just a basic motor. I WAS WRONG i got a brand new 2 barrel carb, hei distbitor, 305 motor that doesn't need anything done besides clean up and reseal. got a power steering pump (now just got to get a power steering gear box) and 2 altnetors all for FREE!!! got back pulled the gear box off got the broken bolts out of it then went and got me 3 new grade 5 bolts( i know there not grade 8 i'll get them in a week or 2)and lock washers for 93 cent and reinstalled everything. went out to my friends parents house and help paint and unload above 305 motor. got home and theres my packet from gmcpaul's with my brake and clutch pedeal pads. now to just install my new tails lights. wow i been busy today
