This is my first actual project car, so i don't know too much beyond some general maintenence. And i dont have the tools to do fine mesurements on the carb, engine ect.

I've been working on it slowly for the last 6 months or so. I've rebuilt the fuel pump, carb, and dissasembled most of the inerior, and fixed up some of the wiring. (To the best of my ability). It now starts, runs, and moves. Like i said i dont have all of the proper tools so it gets way too much fuel. (I figure ill take it to the shop for that)

The car sat on a lawn for a long time before i bought it and so it has rust in the front floor pans, and some of the body.

One of the problems that most concerns me is someone has swapped out the PB for a floor shifter on the original tranny. And the floor shifter doesnt corrospond with the gears. So even when the car is supposedly in park it rolls, and i dont know if my parking pawl is broken or not.
I have the parts for the PB but the wiring is fubar.
I have to find my camera so ill post pictures of what they did to it later if i can.

Also it seems like my TL is over compensating.
