    This proportioning valve just gives me the warm fuzzies.

    Now that we have everything where we want it to be, starting replacement of all the hard lines. These are from "The Stop Shop" through Summit.

    Boring but time consuming day today. One of the previous owners installed a fairly nice exhaust system. Unfortunately it was hitting the rear brake lines when the suspension is loaded. Spent a bunch of time bending, rebending, brackets and lines to make it clear for now trying to reuse as...

    Finishing up the brake system refresh today. Decided to go with parts store stuff for the time being until we decide exactly what direction we want to go with the car. Can always upgrade later. It's kinda surprising that you can just walk in to a place like NAPA and find parts on the shelf...

    It's been kind of a boring few days. Just working on maintenance items like brakes, etc. Found something interesting today however when working on the back. Found this on both side rear inner fenders. I'm thinking that this was done to make room for the 295's they had on the back of this...

    It's a 3500 stall supposedly. Let me look up the specs and get back to you on the cam. Real mild and nowhere near enough for that converter to be pleasant I'm sure.

    I appreciate the amount of accidental learning that happens during a project like this.

    What does the 31 mean on the side of the housing? That's what has me asking the question.

    Side question for you. I took some pics of the rear axle today while I had it in the air. 31 spline 8.5 10-bolt correct? I didn't pull the cover, but by rotating the driveshaft, it appears to be somewhere around a 3.42 ratio which would make sense for an automatic equipped car I suppose.

    Giving all the credit in the world to my brother in law. He has the patience for this type of stuff.

    Minor little setback today. Discovered this when we took the engine off the cradle to install the motor mounts. I wondered why the guy I bought this one from was so eager to give it to me on the stand instead of keeping it......LOL
