With a buddies borrowed carb, cleaning out the fuel lines replacing the rubber line I got it to start and run. Drove it down the street a few times, brakes are decent, with the exception of beyond sloppy transmission linkage, it shifts through the gears and works in 4 high and 4 low without noises or odd mannerisms.

Seems the bones of this Ole Girl are solid and I am stoked to get into it. I'm starting a paint job on a friends 71 Cuda, so this project will be a little slow in its progress but will post from time to time.
