Drove her down the road for the first time today - didn't go far. A bit scary - needs tires terribly, bad front end shake over 50. I replaced the heater core - took the fender off to reach the heater motor bolts, and had numerous issues getting it back together. Had to loosen the front body mount bolt to get the inner fender to bolt up - tightened that last. I also had major issues getting the correct heater core. Both Advance Auto and O'Reilly's had a listing, but it was the same wrong part from both. It looks like their listing for a 1968 Nova is the right one, and Classic Industries had that one listed for the Firebird also, and it was correct. But I lost 3 weeks in ordering parts and getting wrong ones. Once I had the new heater core, radiator, points, plugs, sucked out the stale fuel, rebuilt the carburetor, it popped right off and purred like a kitten. No adjustments to the carb were required. I haven't checked the dwell and timing yet, but I will. It was a great day Saturday. Sold a house that day too (I'm also a small time real estate investor besides my real job) so it really was a great day. I gotta get some better pictures of my twins to post.
