Your motor looks better than mine when I got my car.

Body looks decent too.

Hope you can get it running. Does it turn over y hand?

They had a Jerry rigged hot wire so you could spin the starter but with column drilled out and the unit that the rod in column goes to laying loose it wouldn't start of course but spins over the way they had it

Looks dusty & not "oily"...that's encouraging. Good luck!

by dragons_lair59 on Mon May 06, 2013 9:56 pm

Yea fingers crossed but I gotta find a column as close to free as I can lol

Man the guy that was the owner prior to the guy I got the car from is asspecial kinda stupid. I now have to buy a heater box this idiot cut it in 1/2 then permatexed a piece of plastic to the fan side wtf.the column I'm fairly sure isn't the correct one since it won't even bolt up thank god for the guy I'm getting mine from

I could understand pulling for racing but to cut it in 1/2 then putting a pc of plastic over the gaping whole what was the purpose of that. Gonna have to get wiper arms 2 mismatched ones in the trunk one was original had the main arm and the little one that pivots other is from I'm assuming a cutlass of the 76-77 time frame cause looks like one I had on my old Monte Carlo and I say cutlass cause there is a door card in trunk from a cutlass

And the carb even though it's good will never work on the car. It is off a gmc and is set up for push linkage not pull cable like our cars. Think carb was slapped on when AZ owner traded it for a motorcycle

Well if the rain and flooding ever stop I can go get my parts and bring it home to my new place to get some work done on it
