Awesome! Some 1/4" pinstripe tape would make those rocker moldings POP.

This oil pressure is more than adequate for idle and more. They will idle on 3psi all day. As long as you have 10psi per 1000 RPM, then you are fine. It will not likely go over 40 psi, though. Don't go looking for a problem that isn't there LOL Warm idle oil pressure will drop because the oil is thinner at higher temps.

I recorded the headliner install but I’m going to try and wrap it up before I edit the video and post.

Headliner and trim installed.

I do the same thing, John. But some people think that if you lift the engine up a few inches with the balancer, the world is going to end.

Years ago Pertronix was getting terrible reviews...not sure about how they hold up at this point. My points eliminator kit of choice was a Crane XR-i, but Crane went tits up. I think whoever bought them has their own version, but I have been using the Lectric limited version for a few years now. It is a one-wire kit that looks completely stock.

53 people just had heart attacks while reading this🤣

Points eliminator kits like the one Lectric Limited sells is what I have been using for years. But I still don't mind the points either. But if I'm doing a build, I usually will toss in an eliminator kit. And they look stock, too. I despise the look of those HEI's.

Verify voltage at the headlight before tearing into the dimmer switch.

Surprised it lasted that long at that price. I'm not a 62 guy but I was digging in my pockets to find change.

It's a heat shield on drive side of engine just above the exhaust manifold

Headliner still MIA. My persistent emails have surely discouraged their pace🤣 Apparently the lady who sews the headliners only works two days a week. Just think of the increase in production if she worked full time.

I was thinking the tops of doors too, but man those are some long doors.

There will be a bit of rubbing on the inner frame with the front tires, but it's never been noticeable when I drive. I've just seen a ton of these cars with radials, and they all have rub marks on the back of the front wheel houses.

Manual brakes and steering...oofda mae.

You're gonna love keeping body work dust and overspray off that thing😀

Intake?

There are some things in the engine compartment that are body color, and should be black. I think the guy thinks it's a Cadillac.

71's are my favorite of the 70-72 GS's! Congrats on the acquisition!

SOP for reproduction stuff on the market. “Fits” is a loose term.

This thing cleans up nice.

I installed the rear seat to get it off the floor. Tired of tripping over it.

Today was full of frustration, but also some progress. I started tackling the interior. Pulled the blue seats out. Pulled package tray, repaired it and reinstalled. Removed all headliner trim and headliner. I laid out the old headliner next to the new one. Houston, we have a problem! New headliner has 6 bows. Mine has 7. I called SMS. They were insistent that the Electra 225 4 door hardtops both have 6 bows. Only the sedan has 7. She asked for photos. I sent them. They are "working on it." So now I have a bunch of trim pieces laying all over the place and I am trying to hold off installing the front seat until the headliner is installed. But if it's going to take a month to get another one, I'll just install the seat. Speaking of installing seats, I had to install the carpet before that happened. So I got the new carpet out. Nice sewn and molded set from a seller on ebay. And at this point, it was too long ago to go back on the deal. It fits like garbage. It's too short on the sides where the door sills are. I made it work, but it caused some other fitment issues that I don't like. Photos? coming. There's not much to show, but meh.

What color is it? And does it smell terrible? Grease doesn't drip, but oil does. Both of which can get into the torque tube and leak due to either transmission seal or pinion seal. Both require major surgery to remedy.

The title will say No Reserve if there isn't one set. Otherwise, assume there is a reserve.
