The little black Nova is making more progress tomorrow. Taking it over to a local buddies shop to install new front springs and control arm bushings. We will also freshen up the brakes and try to fit some headers to the existing exhaust.....Hey Sammy!!....found an old driveline loop at the shop, thought I might throw it on for good measure. Should bring it back home by the weekend and then start on some new valve springs and timing chain. Radiator is being serviced, rebuilding w/pump, starter, alt., etc. Then 163/850 setup goes on. Hope to have it running by the 15th...stayed tuned to the L78 channel.

Update on "the project"...front end is completely apart. Took all the control arms, brake spindles, backing plates, etc. to my local NAPA guy who has a hot tank and media blaster. Everything will be cleaned and all new bushings and lower ball joints installed. Removed original engine harness today (what was left of it). New unit going in this week. Cleaned the rest of the steering components and got some of the 35 year old grime off steering box. Original BB coil springs still had their tags: HH 3955727 Steering box had 5679142 dated 209 & HP stamped in yellow letters???? Cover of steering box had 7802287 CBC 13. All the tie rods and othe stuff appears to be original..very little wear. More parts to blast and clean this week and then hopefully get the front end back together by next weekend. Stay tuned..

Hey Wilma, you mentioned a date of "209" on your steering box. How is that interpreted?

Thanks,
