Default 1975 project

Just picked up this 75 overall a straight car with the exception of the fiberglass damage behind headlight and battery compartment. Runs like crap has an electric fuel pump no regulator pushing too much fuel/psi to the carb leaking pretty bad. First thing is getting rid of the rally wheels for some 17 or 18 inch aluminum and wilwood calipers. My biggest concern is the rear backspacing for a 9.5 wide rim everywhere i look i get a different answer 5 to 5.5 with no mods. For both my other cars i just stuck with the stock dimensions 15 x8 and 17 x 8 4inch backspace front and rear. Evenually not any time soon i want to take the 502 ho out of my camaro and drop it in here with a new cam so need the traction. Next weekend hopefully i get her going
