I ordered a choke rod and box for a 68'-70' from the parts place. I had to slightly tweak it, but it works. Also found that the distributor cap was loose. (My father is slipping in his old age) Still having issues with the brakes, despite everything being new. I am thinking a faulty master cylinder by some of the symptoms. Also, doesn't seem to be charging. I started it, let it warm up, put it on the lift. Spent 30-40 minutes going over the brakes, went to move it - dead.

I also removed the 3.07:1 posi 12 bolt and installed a fresh XV coded 3.55:1 posi 12 bolt. I am hoping to drive the car this summer, just too many projects and a nutty schedule slowing me down.

The car went to a new home about 3 weeks ago. Ended up replacing the front harness to fix the charging issue. It has been an experience... that's for sure.
