Thanks for the encouragement hassyfoto. You really had it tough. I lucked out and broke the brake line before driving the car! It waa a little crooked coming out of the master cylinder. Bent it and out came the fluid. The car is really starting to get there. It runs and drives great now thanks to the Forum help. Now I need to get the wipers to park, the freeway wind noise fixed, and the Twin Grip installed, and the it should be a pretty solid driver that I can use daily. Regards Dono

The saga moves on, so now the focus is toward necessary street items, and some overall performance items.
The ignition troubles have been.solved by the crew on the motor section, and the car is running very well. 11) Put on wipers. 12) Shift indicator light isn't working. 13) Add hood lock for extra security. 14) Fast idle drops off too quickily, so motor dies when cold. 600 Edelbrock. 15) Rear ride is very hard. New Go Package springs with rubber bushings, and new polyurethane bushings in the torque links. The front is so compliant, and smooth, and the rear is like an ox cart. 16) Transmission shifts early during full throttle acceleration 4-4500 rpm in Drive. Can this be modified? Regards Dono
