i THINK that's it...
some of those things seem minor, trust me, they were NOT...the smallest things caused us the worst problems. next on the project list is:
steering box
front right wheel drum
front end alignment
leaf springs (6'ers)
disc brake conversion
floor pan
exhaust manifold gasket
compression test
rebuild fuel line (to stock placement)
gas sending unit
ammeter
body work/paint
...and as soon as i don't hear any more funky noises....stereo!
we'll be doing a pull and rebuild eventually, but she runs fantastic as she is, and that's something that has to be scheduled in for a school break, since this is my daily runner. a few pics, starting with the engine as she was when i bought her:
and current (yes i know, still a dirty mess but, SO much better!):
