    Yes she will be running pretty soon, I just need the fuel pump to carb fuel line for a carter style carb,(will track that down soon), need a plug for the drive shaft, ( input end it leaks a bit, the shop did not put one in ) , plug and attach all the wires, buy a manual choke cable since it is a manual choke carb, fork out the dough for a new or try to track down a used clutch position sensor for the pedal, buy a new battery, install the seats, buy the heater hoses and install the radiator and clutch fan, install the accurate exhaust ,run the oil pump with a drill to prelube, and fire her up. Then I will install the windsheild, grill, and fenders.  :eek4: There is a light at the end of the tunnel I just hope it is not a false summit in this climb and all goes well.

    i think the stock carter is 850cfm, so you should be ok.  are you going with rallye wheels?  those red drums will look good peeking out through the wheels! is your rear sway bar from Firmfeel?  that's where i got mine; made for a simple install, and you'll like that it makes the car handle a whole lot better!

    I have welds on the tires now not sure what i will do in the future probably custom rallye. The rear sway bar is a origional unit off of another cuda purchased from a craigslist add. I got lucky the origional owner had sold all of his Cudas and that was the last part he had left from them in his garage. only paid 40 bucks and not pitted.

    good deal on the sway bar!!  other than paint, and tranmissions, our cars are twins!!

    i like the rallye's, but i have a set of miniltes that i want to put on.  i just have to save up for the rubber.  AFTER i save up for the new rear chunk!  you are gonna have a blast when you get it fired up!!   rock and roll!
