This weekend my plans are to add the captains chairs that I've had in storage for several years and add a long trans. dipstick tube out of a 80's Dodge van. This way I won't have to take the doghouse off to check the trans. fluid. I also added a coolant recovery system that I scored from a '77 Dodge van in the junkyard. It fit just like factory.

Excellent wheel/tire combo. I just love painted steelies and dog dish hubcaps.

Looks like you do some fine work.

I'm hoping too, but I wanna drive it next week to work to do a shakedown and make sure everything is okay. I actually haven't driven it that much since I got it.

I may just bring my '94 anyway.

The captains chairs went in like they belonged there, which is nice and boy are they a heck of a lot more comfortable than the stock steats. We took it out for a drive and I immdiately realized I had the timing too far advance cause that ol' 318 knocked like a baby rattle. I'll just back her off a few degrees. Another thing that was happening was the brake pedal was going to the floor with the engine running, but I could pump the pedal up with the engine off. No leaks in the system and no air...I triple checked. Then I realized that I have the lines reversed on the master cyl. so I'm hoping that when I connect them properly, I'll have a decent pedal. One thing I do suspect is the booster. You see the van was equipped with power drum brakes originally and now it's disc. The boosters are different between drum and disc brakes, so that could be the problem too. We'll see after I swap the lines. Stupid me.
