The first thing we did was to replace all break pads, calipers, fluids, ect. We went with braided steel lines on the front breaks. Before you could push the pedal all the way in and it wouldn't stop. Scary to think it was this guys DD. Next, we replaced all plugs and wires after putting in a new HEI. We had to put in a new water pump and replaced the hoses after it blew up. My grandpa helped install a new Holley 600 cfm carb. Once tuned up a little it was running very well. A compression test showed about 150 psi in each cylinder, pretty good for an old engine with unknown miles.
