My intake gasket replacement became a project.

Basically what started as such has lead to me dropping on a Holley Performer TBI intake, a rebuilt larger TBI unit, serpentine belt conversion, swapping to the 4-pin alternator, re-installing A/C, replacing my 4-headlight wire harness with the standard one because I never did when I backswapped to the '80 front clip, and replacing the parking brake mechanism because the current one has a stripped gear and comes back up.

How so? Well, I removed the driver's side fender since it's in a tight garage and the fender is a little dinged up so I plan to replace it anyway. Plus I have almost all the parts for all of this, even the bigger TBI unit. All I'd need to buy is the A/C compressor setup for a serpentine belt, the intake and gasket kit and different headlight wire harness.

I made progress today. Gonna clean up the aluminum serpentine brackets here shortly. [my garage is 16 miles from where I live unfortunately ]
