Its a new year and I have new parts!
Well it has been kind of slow going on the car in fact it basically took a complete standstill for the last few months due to some family issues and school. I have not even picked up my engine or transmission yet, however I will be getting those tomorrow without fail (save a blizzard hitting).
Now then besides the engine and transmission I have a TPI fuel injection setup from a early 90′s Corvette on its way. This will be used for version 2.0 of the car in conjunction with a Megasquirt computer. For now I have 3 Rochester Quadrajet carbs sitting in a box waiting to be be picked over the best chosen and rebuilt. Then last night I had my new rear end dropped off, a GM 12 bolt non posi unit. Now the guy I bought this from had pulled it out of a ’68 Buick Skylark, it measures 60 inches wide so I will need to change the offset of the rear wheels. I found the axle code and had a hard time running it down, but apparently it had been swapped out at some point. The rear originally came from a GTO and is a 2.73 gear ratio.
