Thanks. The shaker looks good underneath, just needs some paint work. The flapper door and bracket is in good shape nut needs a solenoid kit. I think most likely the aftermarket housing will be the route we go unless one pops up. I worked on the car a little today for about an hour. I found that the neutral safety switch wasn't connecting so I jumped it out temporarily. Next I found that the starter signal wire was bolted to the R terminal on the starter instead of the S terminal. I dropped the starter and fixed that problem. Once the motor was turning, I determined there was a timing issue and found the distributor to be 180 degrees out. I pulled it out and turned it to where it should be and the car started right up. It sound really good for sitting for so long. I let it run for 5 minutes then shut it down since I had to go. Next project is to set timing, plug some vacuum leaks and try moving it on its own power.
