To get my car running here’s what I have done to it thus far.
- New Diff – New Moser 12 bolt, Tru Trac, 3.42 gears.
- New Rear Suspension – New Hotchkis control arms, stabilizer springs and shocks)
- Front Suspension – Powder coated stock control arms, new Hotchkis springs and stablizer and new shocks.
- Brakes – New lines, power booster and master cylinder new drums in rear and new disc and spindles in front.
- Body Pan – Sanded & Painted with rustoleum and put new sound absorbing padding in with original carpet just cleaned.
- Starter Wiring – This was rigged up with a pushbutton switch vs. the ignition, had to correctly wire it to get working.
- Alternator & Regulator & Wiring – This was again rigged up, the regulator failed, so the gen light was on all the time, I ended up replacing the alternator with a PowerMaster 47294, 140AMP. It has an internal regulator and the wiring was redone with 10 gauge and 8 gauge.
- Wiper Motor – I purchased a switch but this did not work, so I had to rig up something.
- Seat Belts – Probably the biggest pain, I purchased some RetroBelt, but the mounts don’t work well and the belt is marginal. This will need to get replaced.
- Throttle Bracket & Cable – The cable was too long and the cable only pulled to about 1/2 throttle. I purchased a new bracket and cable from Amazon.
- K&N Air Filter & Top – The old ones are black, need some new ones.
