Yep, I'm surprised to have found so much in need of repair given such glowing reports about the car from the shop and payment to go over the car ... Yes, the underside was clean as described, but the car needs work. Replaced the collapsed vacuum hose. Replaced the air filter, swapped out the 600cfm carb for a new Edelbrock 500 CFM 4bbl. The plugs were horrible so I'm replacing them. The way the shop was talking this thing was fresh as a daisy. Live and learn. I haven't fired the car up with the work completed as the plugs aren't in. We'll see if the motor wakes up a bit.

Moving onto brakes and seats next. Have no master cylinders and Hawk HPS pads. Got the seat rails. Here's a pic of the engine bay as it sits today.
