Fast forward to late March 2013... after a long winters nap. I spent a day with the old girl... checked all fluids (check) and proceeded to replace the coil, points (set to .017), condenser, Cap, rotor and wires. plugs appeared fine.
Put a battery in her cranker her for 2-3 min with ignition disconnected to get oil in her at low rpms..... connected the ignition, gave her a splash of fresh gas and hooked her to a small can of fresh fuel. set the choke, turned the key.... She roared to life first turn....
she clattered a bit, smokedn shook, after a min or 2 she settled down and ran decent.... ( ive seen videos of 305s running on Utube) she sounded and ran fine....
we then replaced the hood with a red 68 chevy hood. the original one was shot and the passenger side holes for the hinge had long since rotted away.
I had to tug on the core support to get the hood to close right. At some point, the truck had a front end hit on the drivers side which punched the eyebrow in and they did a **** job of fixing it. and the core got pushed in .
so I was curious to see if she moved.... dropped it in Lo and she moved. Mind you there are no brakes, but the drums offered resistance ...
I drove it around the yard a little and parked her in a new spot.
