Got a little more done Yesterday and today. The shocks, fuel line, brake line, gas tank, & exhaust system all in and ready. Well almost, I am waiting for the flexible brake line from the main line to the axel housing. I have a question, does anyone know what I'm to do with the top of the axel vent bolt that goes through the brake line manifold block? I'm sure it must get a cap of some kind but I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

Looks like mine is missing the top part, I'll probably need to just replace the whole thing. Thanks! Any idea what it's called?

It's a axle vent. Here's a link to a new one like Alan referred to.

I may have an original laying around if you want it. Let me know.

Nice work
Hats off to you for finding a great car to restore. Many of us found rusty heaps to build and rebuild.
great progress!

  :dunno: Not really sure yet, probably the 6 pack cuda while everything is still fresh in my mind.  :clueless: But then the Coronet would be fun too
That is a good idea thinking along the lines of doing staright after this build, the B-body will be a different world if you have to chase parts compared to the `Cuda's......
Can you post a picture of the other 2 cars please, i have a soft spot for 70 Coronet's and SuperBee's :drool: :clapping:

Same here - does the coronet have the three lights in the back or the slotted ones like the superbees.  70s were always weird with all the different trim models.

This one ha the three lights on each side in the back. Actually only two and one is a dummy

As pointed out in another forum, does anyone see something peculiar on the fender tag? There's something that doesn't belong.

Also to better answer that question, here is a picture of the tail lights for the Coronet

It looks like ED5 or E05 on that plate is not coming up with anything as well.
