On The Road Again!!!
 
well after 6 mos and a simple engine swap going apes and bananas, I finally was able to drive the truck about 30 miles last night and took it round trip of 70 miles today to work!!!! still a few little bugs to work out yet (need a new hot for my TC lockup, and I have a little pinging on hard acceleration, so i must retard the timing) but the 305 runs great and the 2004r shifts as well as my 81 caprice, so i am pretty stoked... 70 mph at 22000 rpm w/o lockup... and the tilt and power brakes are nice.. now just to install the power steering and cruise!!! buti can get to those when i get to 'em.. thanks for all the help and know how!!! ill post pics when my gf gets back from vacation with her dig camera...
