They let it run for a long time today and it did good. Road test tomorrow and I assume new brakes and shocks will be next. I have the new tires for it and we need a day of cleaning and quick stop at the exhaust shop to replace the mufflers and straighten up tailpipes. This one is for her, she wants the patina look and I'm fine with that as long as it is mechanically sound. Another old Pontiac will be back cruising this spring/summer is how I see it.

Still has drum brakes in front? The shoes will be "organic" now a days and can "glaze up" I have found fairly easily, causing the car to pull to one side.
Good luck, and be safe
