So now that I have put a few miles on it I thought I would post. I fixed the carb and Its working fairly well.
I rebuilt the brake master and bled the hydrovac. all of a sudden the brakes only need to be pumped once!
The master needs to be replaced, as it had corrosion that I could not hone out. unless I sleeve it. NAPA wants $180 for the master cylinder, are there better options? I was planning on replacing the front and rear axles and will do the brake upgrade then, I really want a tandem brake system... this single system seems sketchy at best..
I have redone the entire interior. I didn't intend to, it just worked out that way. All the window seals have been replaced, the headliner (with insulation above) New seat upholstery, the dash is painted and the heater rebuilt except for the heater valve. Doesn't someone rebuild these?
I've done a few wiring repairs, running new wire where needed. Somehow I am still stunned at what some people will do with wiring....
I just picked up a 261 and am looking inside it this coming week. Though I don't think I'll put it in until I change the rear-end.
On that topic... one question I am puzzled y. I have seen some folks here say that you can swap the center section from the rear axle with a late 60's or 70's axle. is this true or not. If it is it seems like that would be the easy way to go. but if it were that easy, my rain says more people would e talking about it.
Right?
