JUST AN UPDATE!!

So far I have replaced the:
stater solenoid
alternator
belt
spark plugs
oil/filter
spark plugs
plug wires
distributor
rebuilt carburetor
battery

All this and it finally runs, after 26 years sitting out in the elements she's purring. I have a slight timing issue but that will get takin care of shortly. Brakes on the other hand have been a bit of a nuisance but hopefully figured out this week. Im looking to bleed the lines and get some pressure back in them. If anyone knows of a good aftermarket conversion to discs that would be helpful. Thanks for the help and I look forward to sharing his first run down the road soon.
