It's a '72 Demon 340. The distributor is actually in the right place...but there's some other weird stuff.

OK, Tim, I guess I am gonna clean some stuff as this is my progress so far today. I popped my balljoints off and seperated the spindles. Sprayed some Purple Power on everything and I'm letting it sit. Found a broken coil on the passenger side. I've seen this here in others threads although I havent seen it yet.

Oh yeah, I met erock and visited hickuppickup (Rob) yesterday. Had a good time and was blown away by Rob's mechanical fantasy land.....more later.

OK, here's what Rob hooked me up with.......a CPP panhard set-up that extends to the trailing arm, not the pumpkin. Thanx Rob!! Cant wait to get the coils in there.

I did paint my new parts and cleaned stuff up. Installed new upper balljoints and hauled out my 1'' drop coils. Measured the stockers at 13 1/4'' and the CPP's at 12 1/4''. I opted to cut 1 coil off leaving 11 1/4''. Bolted the spindles in and called it a nite.....cant wait to see it on the ground tomorrow.
