Found some back roads and flogged the Chevelle with the new fuel injection. Love it so far, throttle response is a world of difference. I thought I had my double pumper tuned good but this efi is awesome.

Done installing the new clutch and replacing the bushings on the shifter. Also, I decided to order ironman tires because of the price.

I pulled the front clip off of the 68 today. Spent a day last week getting the 307 & PG ready to come out. Hopefully next day I have off, I can get the engine and transmission out. I want to completely remove everything on the firewall and front frame rails. Going to clean, paint, set up my engine mounts for the LS swap.

Originally, I was wanting to refurbish what was there. But, now I am thinking a Vintage Air system would be more tidy/trouble free. So most likely I will end up welding up the factory holes in the firewall.
   I canabalized a 71-72 core support to fix the one off of my 68. It was a spare, and had some rough edges.

Put a new advance curve kit in the distributor. Old one seemed fine but the idle wouldn't always drop down to where it should be. Had a hell of a time adjusting the timing, guess I need to put in heavier springs. Seems like the advance was coming in at idle which made it harder to adjust. Not today though, in the 80's and a lot hotter than that in garage, leaning over a big block.

Been pecking at it here and there. I bled the brakes and got it back on 4 wheels. Hood fit horrible, sent my hinges out to be rebuilt. Hood fits way better, still needs some work to get the body lines better.
