Another minor update. Got rid of the Pertronix setup and put in a MSD stand alone distributor. Works great. Also changed out the Performer and 750 for a RPM and a 800 dp. Runs great

I almost forgot about this place till I saw the post on FBBO. Truck still looks the same, but I put a 460/C6 in it and changed the wheels. I'll try to get pics after work.
For now I'm just fixing all the little stuff. Mostly squeaks, rattles, and other weird noises. I've been driving it everyday for about two weeks now. The Windsor and 3 speed work pretty good with the 3.25's in the rear. My long term plan is to keep it mostly stock and get the body as cherry as I...
