new fuel tank sender
HEI distrib, and fresh plugs and wires.

Should be fun. Pics to come.

Something to look forward to indeed!

a friend told me to do upper and lower ball joints at the same time - good advice... anything else that should be swapped while in the front and rear end?

Good choice. This way you also build up your tool chest.

Bushings, either new rubber or if you want a little better handling, polyurethane, and grease them well if you don'totherwise they will squeal like a pig (for poly) and check tie rod ends, sway bar end links, pit man arm and steering, just make sure that everything is ready to drive down the highway, and of course, you will need an alignment b4 you drive it much because it will wear your tires irregularly and cause them to go faster than normal
