Cleaned bumpers up, window tracks and regulators were cleaned and greased/oiled. Mufflers were cleaned, painted, and polished. Put on the missing clamps. Got the fuel sending unit in and got the gauge working. Adjusted vacuum modulator. Drained and changed ATF, installed correct window cranks arms. Next are door panel clips and vapor barrier behind door panels and repray wheels silver.

After fault diag. for a spark issue, I chased the problem to the o.g. big cap distributor. I believe its worn so I bought a 009 locally and installed a 6 volt electronic ignition and it fired right up.
Was then able to adjust and tune the new dual carbs and got it running fairly good.
Still having rear brake locking up issues after a good drive that I believe to be the flex lines, new on the way.
All in all it took two and a half months to get driving again for the first time in 7 years...but made the local show last Sunday and that was the goal.
Now I can really start working on it...
