i would strip all the paint off the engine compartment it was more than likely rattle caned there are sometimes compatibly issues with the new paint you have the engine out do it right the first time

what a great rust free car it;s a bonus that that guy bagged everything is that the original radio too

nice options good luck with your project

what is in there now ? there are plenty of web sites that tell you how to measure for a new drive shaft

sounds like vapor lock .check all of the above first . if that doesn;t work what i did was put a 440 fuel lines it comes with a return line you will need to also buy the vapor separator 440 fuel pump and 440 fuel pickup that goes in the tank that cured that problem

mine is a1971 383 car it did not come with a fuel separator the 440 and 426 cars did so i bought a 440 fuel line set up that cured the vapor lock and i put a filter between the separator and the carb

i would replace it who knows what junk and rust is in it .sometimes after running the carb float valve will leak a little allowing fuel to over flow the carb flooding the engine that separator bleads the pressure out of the fuel line so that won;t happen

like everyone says you are not going to like a open end rear with that ratio it will spin one tire real easy

terry way will work good ..don;t unbolt the upper hinge that will make aligning it harder

it looks bent around that bolt hole

your car looks great happy motoring

to get max caster the upper ball joint needs to be as far back toward the fire wall as you can get it and still have good camber.. it;s best to.lift the wheels off the ground suspension hanging when adjusting the cam bolts

i haven;t seen one of those old air bumper jacks in some time they were pretty handy

it has hydraulic lifters they pump up from the oil pressure when the engine is running .. when the valves are fully closed you can wiggle them a little that is normal if it doesn;t clack when running you are good to go

i believe they are all the same be careful to not bend the molding very easy to do when pulling up
