Got some miles on the car this weekend. After a thorough going over and tune up it's really running good. First trip out found the radiator leaking. It's all rotted out on the bottom so I threw in another one I had. Next trip out radiator was holding but I could hear a whinning noise now which ended up being the water pump. It appears to have the factory 4" 351 pump which I didn't have. I did find a later pump and correct pulley so back on the road. I'll get one of those AMES factory correct pumps later. Ride wasn't great so took a look at the shocks and they are still the original spiral shocks so that's next.
Oh, ZEP guys, bought some ZEP (can't recall which one, odor something) and that seems to have really made an improvement. At least there are so many different smells in there now the mouse odor doesn't stand out. Good tip guys.
