Warped rotors could also cause issues with wobble but you have done great progress and I enjoy seeing your posts.

There is a potentiometer on the back of the tach behind this sticker to adjust the rpm reading. Just be careful, the potentiometer can be fragile after all these decades.

Just a little fun after a grocery run. My neighbor says he likes the understated "big block" sound of the exhuast while I'm pulling out the driveway. I really like how it sounds when the rpms climb!

Carpet is cut and installed. Finished installing RH side water shields and panels, shifter boot installed.
Next I will finish up LH side, install rear belts, install console, install seats! Original rear seat is being cleaned by local detailer. Front seats I scored locally and are done!

Wow, it's all that. L78 SS 396, M21, A-A Tuxedo Black, Z=A50 Strato buckets without headrests, tinted all glass, deluxe exterior trim, the tach is intact and black interior. It is a dream car for anybody who knows. Your dream just came true so good for you and keep it dry. Best wishes for that special car.

Jose…what, if anything, are you going to do to the exterior? -Paint, primer?

I'll just leave it for now. At most I may have a local detailer clean up what's there.

I wish I took better before pics but this is the seat that came with the car. I dropped off the seats to a local detailer who cleaned the decades of dirt and poop. I also cleaned the rear 211 seatbelts with basic dish soap and water before install.

Also thanks to Jon for pointing out I need to find the correct shift boot retainer for console car. If anyone has an original please let me know.
