Looks like a big project. I've never heard of a six link suspension, can you enlighten me.

Keep us posted on your progress.

how did that edelbrock carb work out for you? if it's not working quite right they are extremely easy to rebuild and the kit is only like 20 bucks too. dont forget a big can of carb cleaner :thumbsup:

well another update. i figured out why it was spittin fire out of the carb. the coil was bad. had a hole rusted in the side lol. once i replaced it it still wouldnt run. then i remberd it was out of gass. gave it gas and it started right up

))))))))))
didnt replace the carb but picked up a seccond elerbook carb for 15 bucks. now i have 2

finaly traded the 88 rc i had sitting for the parts i kneed to make er run again. with some luck and some hard work i shold have it semi drivable by the end of the year.
traded the 88 rc for a 8 lug dayna 44 front a engin rear drive line some interior parts and a brake prop valve:) now all i kneed is to by a ramchargercentral.com lift
