Father-Son 1974 Duster Project

Definitely good advice , get as much done underneath and in the bay done before you put your engine in ... I know that would be a milestone for you but it would complicate things... Back in post #106 you said you wanted to remove and detail your lines , Sounds like a good time to tackle that , get all those inspected ,detailed and reinstall then bleed the brakes (I like the gravity method and it's not like your in a hurry)then clean/ plumb your fuel system replacing all the soft lines with ethanol resistant tubing , I just had to do this on my '64 Riviera ...all the soft lines were turning to goo. What is the status of your engine , did you get the hardware you needed to install the flexplate? Are you going to install engine and tranny as a unit from the top?
