Mo's70MCs

Nothing like following someone's progress. Nice mods and attention to detail, hard to think she's going into daily driver status.

Hey Dan, Nice following along on your build, she's looking sweet. The old leaking Saginaw steering box,, man talk about frustrated on my first attempt, must of eaten 3 or 4 of the lavender Teflon o rings on the nut rack piston. Finally I got the hang of it.. using a piston ring compressor, cause even putting them in hot boiling water would not do the trick. Good luck let us know how it turns out.

I'm a vinyl top guy as well. Two of mine have tops on them, the third is missing it. It almost seems naked if you will, kinda like wearing a tuxedo with tennis shoes.

Gary, As far as I know there's two types the spade and the bullet type connectors. All my '70s came with a bullet type and they're both made to unplug from its wire lead. If they're stock you should be able to pull the lead apart.

Just wanted more, though up and running is good. Take us along for the ride.

Choke and fast iddle cam issues would be my first choice. Specially if blipping the throttle corrects it, it's usually how the fast iddle cam is unloaded.

Coming along nicely. Love the progress keep it coming.

Nice turn-out congratulations to all that won. A thumbs up for all attendees.

You learn something new everyday, I had my info all wrong. Thanks for clearing it up for us, I thought the lower compression motor would hence have smaller valves. I stand corrected. That's why having this forum is so great, the wealth of knowledge here Is bar none.

Nevertheless a valiant effort of making us laugh. I can't imagine (pardon the pun) being cooped-up, whether it be in a coupe or sedan with a messed up leg. A thumbs up!

My concern would be the sb heads for a 2bbl vs 4bbl, smaller intake valves and lower compression motor. Although, maybe you may be able to lean it far enough to meter properly, my dislike would be...jetting, power valves, or accelerator pump settings. I dislike Holleys for that reason, some would argue, yet that's me. Keep us informed on the outcome, and good luck.

You better go air out that leg.

After the sound deading, I would lay down some carpet padding, I used jute automotive carpet padding. Some carpet kits come with it as a backing.

Usually the steering wheel manufacturer will offer a steering wheel hub adapter, I know on my Grant I used a Grant, on the billet I used their adapter as well. Not all steering wheels are compatible.

Freaking gorgeous! I also hope to see it in person some day. Kudos on a masterful build.

Brian, Your project is looking great. Nice choice of color keep posting your progress pics thanks for sharing. Maybe one of the moderators can help you with moving your post.

Very nice indeed! Love the scenery having been there before, I can appreciate. Thanks for sharing Aaron, I have one question, how did you manage having both of your cars there? The weather looked specially nice. Kudos to all that attended, and won awards.

Nice progress, she's looking sweet and love that color.

Where's a locksmith when you need one.

Imagine that a non a/c, 49 states, and possibly federal cars, with two spark control relays, and yet I speak from a 70's model and California emissions control perspective. Yet my 70's if I remember correctly only had an electricly controlled ported vacuum switch. I don't recall them ever having a accelerator control device other than an iddle stop solenoid. Controlling higher RPM for A/C compressor use. I stand corrected, you learn something new everyday.

Does the car have A/C? If so I believe one is the TCS and the other is a blower motor relay.

I like it, she sounds an looks terrific.

If it's making noise when the A/C is not on (clutch not engaged) it's probably the compressor bearing.

Can't go wrong with that combo, the thunder series AVS is my carb of choice..I opted with the indurashine manifold and carb.

That's a nice piece. The car and your efforts are surely worthy of the recognition. Great going! Thanks for sharing.
