1970 Stage 1 Diplomat Blue- with commentary from the original owner

Just to add, this car in person runs STRONG! front brakes are bled, and it’s running and moving! a small miss? I think

 

Alright, now suck it up and bring it to BG.

 

feel free to convince the old man to go...

 

Around these parts “the old man” is a youngster.

 

Dyl and I had a plan for the day…. Of course, the car fought us every step of the way… Sawz-all and cut of wheels needed…
In the end, we got the KYB shocks and a pair of NORS (1984 on the box) Moog 5399 rear springs…
Going to need bigger tires!!!!!

 

Unfortunately, I believe I know that sound. My guess is it is the cam, my stage 1 was like that also and had the slight miss .

 

Morning Nelson. It's not the cam... I haven't changed the 20 + year old plugs, the 20+ year old wires, or timed it... LOL. That small miss that Dyl is speaking of is just because it is not tuned... That is on the list..

-Last weekend was BRAKES. The rears bled easily... A vast amount of rusty, crusty fluid... Then nice and clear. The fronts... Both calipers had to be removed, both pistons needed to be removed and polished. The DS piston dust ring ripped, so that needs to be replaced/rebuilt. Luckily, Autozone had a caliper in stock. Brakes now work GREAT!!

-This weekend is soldering connections, changing bulbs, maybe figuring out why I have no directionals.
-Next Wednesday is EXHAUST DAY!!!!
-After that, will be detailing... Buffing/polishing the paint, polishing the chrome, drilling and tapping the center cap tong pedestals...

 

That is good news, I was not so lucky with mine. That started a new engine and trans rebuild.. Might check the column for the directionals.
