    I bought this car out of a barn a couple of years ago from the second owner. Here is the original thread:

    No Rich, unfortunately no rear sway bar. Probably the only thing I'll add to it when I get to that point. Is the car in your avatar the same color? If so, mine came with the same wheels and poverty caps.

    Yes my Avatar is Cornet Gold.
    Look by the valvestem holes on outside of wheel rims and post the codes and #'s you see
    Should be WD or WH and date code?
    Also,is there a posi tag attched to rear axle 2:93 open or posi?

    it says WD 26. on the other side of the stem is 9. I only have 3 of them. The fourth is a 14" steel wheel.
    I didn't check for posi yet, but I assume its a no.

    Thanks for all your help on this stuff, Rich. I'm really getting motivated to really dig into it.

    More pics coming as I get it further apart.
