What's the earliest Auto Z?

Hi Adrian:

I sent you and Mark an e-mail message. So the two of you could connect directly. If you didn't get it - let me know. I did get a response from Mark, and he has reviewed this thread... perhaps sent you an PM.

kind regards,

Carl

Time to revive this ancient thread. After letting this car sit for 2 years, I started working on it last October. The last prior registration was 1987. I have done:

Refurbished gas tank

Changed fuel sensor

New upper water coupler, temp sensor, thermostat

Had radiator shop Frankenstein 2 bad stock radiators into 1 good one

Pulled out all aftermarket gauges

Changed oil pressure sensor

Replaced all rubber lines, vacuum and fuel

Fan belt

Starter

Battery and battery wires

NGK plugs and plug wires

Rebuilt dual point distributor (I had one lying about anyway)

Brakes: new pads and shoes

had rotors and drums turned

new master cylinder

front brake lines

brake fluid flush and bleed

Changed oil & filter

Air filter

Western wheel center lines with holes

Refinished steering wheel

Horn button

Choke knob

door lock knobs

Carbs - cleaned and replaced float bowl gaskets (these need rebuilt to work right)

It runs, but I need to fix the horn and turn signals, have carbs rebuilt and adjusted before it's road ready. It's registered and licensed with a historic plate.

I've attached some pics. Now its just too hot to work on a car so it's covered up and I'll hit it again in October when it cools off.
