Well got the front end rebuilt and the disc brake conversion installed. Working on bending up new brake lines now. I also did a tune up, new thermostat and upper hose. Also new valve cover gaskets.

Well I guess I can't blame the previous owner too much for the engine misidentification. He got a 1966 repair manual for the car. In 1966 they changed the engine codes. But in this manual it has the older codes. It shows H= 318 which in fact for 1966 means 273. I guess the manual was printed in 1965 maybe?

Well after doing a tune up to the motor, I discovered it is not a 318 as the seller had stated, but actually a 273. I know they are similar and share alot of parts, but geez learn what you got.

Thanks. It is solid and straight. Just needs the little things addressed like any old car does.
