    haven't tried putting wheels on yet, the car came with AR Outlaws with 60's all around. at the moment I just have to get the tie-rod's the right size to fit the disc spindles. I have a set of what I was told is 74 disc on another maverick I have on blocks. I tried the tie-rod off this maverick, which had factory drums on the front and they wouldnt ever begin to go into the taper...it was even smaller:hmmm:

    IT'S ALIVE.............:bouncy:

    Cranked it up last night....open headers:D......carb still running a little rich
    but I finally got it adjusted to where it idled...had a little issue where I couldnt get it to turn over at all then I remembered the reverse lockout...took it off the automatic and plugged it in and it fired right up.
    now I just need to figure out which pins to short out. too bad they dont make a plug for it.
