Well, brake system rusted master cylinder to......probably everywhere. Won't be on the road, but did a few donuts in the yard...lol Oh, and that Accordion style power brake booster still functions, not sure where one those be found.:burnout:

After sitting 20 years, she cranked, purred like a kitten after about 5 min, and tranny went in all gears. Next to check through the brakes, and may drive home. Don't live but 10 miles from where car is now...lol

This is where she now sits till I get running, load on trailer to the house. She's not pretty, but very solid. Floors really the worst, and a mild fender bender in passenger taillight area.

I saw the Wiseco,and K-1 setup, but at almost a grand for rods, and pistons, I'd have to go V8. Now I love my L6s, they are tried n true. But sad cant find new OEM rods. I really want to keep my car originalish as possible so hate to loose the L6.

Anyone have a link, or where to buy better than stock connecting rods without breaking the bank? Not drag racing but would like a lighter rod, and if all else fails, where to buy OEM style rods. Hunted the web, and all I can find is $400, and up prices on rods. Have a bad rod, so want to replace...
