Gotten a lot of help from this forum over the years, figured I'd stop lurking and maybe contribute a little. :lurk:

...What I'm going to try to accomplish is to put together a 1970's street machine, the kind of cars that were in every American kid's driveway during my youth.
Absolutely beautiful, every time I see pictures of it I start to drool....Welcome to FABO. I got bored with the numbers matching stuff, so when I built my Demon I wanted to go with the early 70's "day two" look. My car represents what was a common look on a Saturday night at the local Burger Chef on Michigan Ave in 1972. I used an Edelbrock LD-340 intake, original Direct Connection valve covers, retro Autometer Tach, 833 4-speed trans and manual steering to give the car the look, performance and feel I was after. Of course all the modern upgrades are out of sight.
Good luck with build, you and your son will have a great time.

Welcome! Nice to see so many folks from my neck of the woods on the boards these days. What part of Nor-Cal are you from?
I'm also going to ditch the power steering, and replace it with one of the Flaming River manual boxes....is that the route you went? A quicker ratio would be a lot safer.
