Installed Eric's PB booster and master cylinder into the '70...original master rear seal was leaking.
Looks good.
Plus...Had to completely disassemble the dash on my '97 F150 to remove the instrument cluster...failed emissions due to the "Check Engine" bulb was burned out.

Replaced the little bulb and reassembled.
Passed emissions.

Could not get my car to start today. I have no spark. Didn't realize when I hook the battery back up today that the iginiton was turn on for a couple of hours. Friend and auto mechanic figured I fried the pertronix system. Replaced the pertronix system and still no spark. Going to go get a new coil and see what happens. Was planning to take it to a car show tomorrow. Other wise the car will be sitting in the garage tomorrow if this doesn't work until I can figure out the problem.

Coil was the problem, car fired right up after I replaced it tonight. Looks like the car show is back on for tomorrow. Should be around 75 there.

Took the longest drive yet today with the Chevelle to go to a car show across town. First adventure out with that much traffic on the road. Show was great, I have never been or really knew what to expect. They had a parade and all the classic cars also got to be in it along with everyone else. I did win award also at the show. Best part of the show was I got to spend the day with my 30 year old son and sit back and just talk with him all day.

I went out to my shop to make sure it wasnt flooded from all the rain but did nothing to the Chevelle.

Repaired two of the four shock retainer nuts. Painted all four, plus the four bolts. These are things I should have done months ago. Front shocks and front sway bar are installed as of 20 minutes ago. (I couldn't stay in for the night without installing everything. I wouldn't have slept tonight. Had to let the paint dry, took forever due to high humidity.) Going to keep plugging along, next up: install OP sending unit fitting, hood lanyard retainers, and barrel nut on the starter heat shield. Also need to tighten up the end links and lower control arm bolts while I am under the front of the car.
