'74 Swinger restoration/build

At this point the pictures I had were on my phone, that has since failed, and become unrecoverable. If I can find a hard drive recovery specialist, I might be able to post them, but otherwise, no pics.

The slant was always problematic, to say the least, it would run, but never consistently. The first thing was a carburetor rebuild Then the manifolds were taken off and trued, with a belt sander. This got it running well enough for a while, but it was using (and dripping) a fair amount of oil.

The rear main seal was the culprit, so a gasket rebuild kit was ordered and installed. This included a timing set replacement as well. After the new timing set was installed came the tedious task of timing and tuning the motor to get it just right.

After carburetor problems, messing with the choke and various other little bits, It is now parked, due to a failed U-jount that I drove home with, forcing a replacement, transmission rebuild.

I can post better pictures of the second rebuild when I do it, I got the kit today.
