Not sure what happened to my previous thread, but to coin a phrase from Dr. Emmett Brown, it was "Erased From Existence". To refresh, I bought this 70 Cuda from an estate back in February. The car was sitting since 1988. Virtually rust free and is all matching numbers with build sheet and tags. I'm including some as-found pictures since the prior ones have been lost. Anyway, I swapped out the fuel pump, water pump and carb, and while at it - detailed the engine compartment and installed the correct intake, carb and valve covers. After 3 decades of hibernation, the motor was awakened yesterday. She fired right up, and ran pretty smoothly after burning off the remains of the Marvel Mystery Oil that I put in the cylinders a few weeks earlier. It was so cool to see all of the factory gauges slowly swing to the right and park right where they should. Even the tach works. Now on to the brakes for a refurbishing so it can be driven. Thanks to all the previous posters who provided very valuable comments. Will update as progress is made.
