    I should apologize. It wasn’t the ADF guys it was Alied Armaments I was referring to. Yeah , Scott has been alongside the USMB so long it’s pretty much a given we older folks are going to point to him first.

    Still haven’t found the manuals. Maybe have some little wedges to support the skin as you go alone from one end to the other releasing the clips and stuffing a wedge in there to keep it from seating itself back in ?

    If he doesn’t come through I know I just rediscovered some at my storage.

    Sounds like maybe a perfect parts car. That is if free or dirt cheap. Body repair on these up north in the salt/rust zone can be time consuming and if paying someone very expensive well beyond the value. Solution is to get a nice solid body from out west. Pay the transport , it’s worth it , and several of us have done it. Budget would be happier over trying to repair that body. Maybe get the car you mention and use it as a practice run and then parts car for your future solid body. Have fun learning it and making it run well. Then you’ll have experience and extra parts like a carburetor, engine , transmission , etc As great of a project this is with dad we wouldn’t want you to hit a dead end and be discouraged. As of Sunday I had four starters laid out while trying to sort out and clean up storage. Guys like me are out there with excessive spares. So don’t worry too much when it looks like you can’t find some part. Meanwhile , check the usual places for a solid body. Washington , Oregon , Idaho , Montana , Nevada , NM , CA , those states will yield the most.

    This isn’t that expensive brown wagon is it ? Parts , most folks will tell you it’s an uphill battle. But there’s parts out there. Some more difficult to locate than others. What sort of parts are needed to get it going ? 79 is electronic distributor, so no fiddling under the distributor cap. To me , if it’s all there , not rotted away , and not a complete mouse nest , AND cheap enough then I would be all over it. But I’m older and have been around these cars since they were new. Maybe your dad too ? Assuming it’s been sitting a while so you’ll want a carb kit which there are some out there. Around $15-30 on eBay and such. If you’re not pumping fuel it could well be the alternator and/or voltage regulator. Both can still be found. Alt - $25-50 V/R -$10-25 Can’t recall which year all USA went to internal regulators but if a CA vehicle it may well be so equipped. Those should make it run. Float bowl of carb - clean really well and thru sight glass on left side of carb check float level. Carbs are best soaked if you can. Don’t want to carry on if dad knows most of this stuff. But I’ll try to help with costs of parts. When I have a little more time I’ll add more info.

    SJR no other letters needed. besides , when the other guys came in the scene they were a little oh , breast beating ... obnoxious , and probably a few other descriptives. But hey we were all young once. Scott is cool and nobody ever talks crap about his work.

    Ok I’ll see if I have an FSM for those. To me if you can see that exploded view you’ve got a good shot at figuring it out. Or not .... hang on.

    Welcome. Ok what’s the story that goes with the sweetie Loyale ?

    My thoughts as well. Read that as - be sure you have patience and a drill and easy-out kit , thread repair could be in the picture too , and better or new bolts. But to me you should use your existing intake and as mentioned above get fresh gaskets. Try soaking those intake bolts super well and for some time not just the few seconds before turning. And as often it should be done turn IN first. You know the drill , don’t have to tell you that stuff. Right ? Little back n forth and maybe you’ll get lucky. But I’d expect corrosion deluxe.

    Will check whatever FSM or FPM that I have at home, when I can.
