I figured that I should start a thread on my re-assemblage of Elwood.
I picked up him in December 2018 in Cherokee, Iowa. Drove him onto the trailer and got him home.
Basic 318 2BBL, torq-flite (I will verify - the fender tag states so - thanks @detmatt for decoding, those decoder sites had be having a resentment due to the character fonts and spaces for the fields).
The car is in fair shape and it might indeed have 71k on the clock.
I have rebuilt the carb, replaced the fuel pump and am in the middle of replacing the wheel cylinders, master cylinder and have replaced the right rear hard brake line.
I have commitments that keep me away from my shop and will work on him when I can.
While I can’t be wrenching on him a lot, I am doing some research and accumulating some components I will install when time permits.
I will post some pictures tomorrow.
I am grateful for this forum and salute all of you who have shared so much knowledge!
