Re: Sum Old Parts -72- 2wd conversion
Cut, and reused poly fuel lines, they were just long enough and worked well for the 1st 25 yrs, new poly body bushings. Set the body back on the frame. Wiring for the TBI was a Howell H242....reused as much of the donor parts as possible. Computer, dash etc...

Re: Sum Old Parts -72- 2wd conversion
Different trans requires new drive shaft. Electronic OD trans means electronic speedo....Built a custom dash bezel out of the Caprice, Modified glove box door, cut fit most of the original piece behind it.
