Looks like it's pretty close to being ready to roll! Its tough to get a big project completed without higher prioritys getting in the way. I hope you get to enjoy it this summer!!

Just gotta bleed the brakes, replace a brittle cracked vacuum hose, and get it aligned. No excuses, I should have had it done a month ago.

Well, hell, two months later. Life still getting in the way, but made myself take time. Fuel pump wasn't working, had voltage at the rear plug, so dropped the tank and installed a new one. Fun job on jackstands... Pump works perfectly - I forgot to put in the fuel filter so when I cranked it I made a nice puddle under the rear! OK, got that fixed. Decided to put it on the wheels, the rears rubbed the e-brake lines because I hadn't bolted the brackets to the contol arms. One bracket was upside down so had to take the e-brake cable off the caliper, flip it, put it back. Got it down on all four, looks fantastic! Murphy's Law then kicked in - it will crank and run, but only with lots of throttle. Dies at low RPM. I could hear a vacuum leak up front. I had already replaced two old cracked-looking vacuum lines (one off the rear of the plenum base and the one off the front), checked the two that go to the cold air intake, but have no idea where to look next. Process of elimination, I guess...
