Thanks a bunch Guys!
Last July I bought a 1980 C3 and started reading and researching on this forum. My new to me car had a decent body, interior and a usable frame. The motor had a flat cam and the tranny didn't shift into drive. After spending two weeks trying to get the head lights to work correctly, I gave up and converted to electric actuators. I yanked the motor and trans last fall. I bought a beefed up 700R4 and built a 383 roller cam motor. While the motor was out I converted to a Borgeson box. I changed out tie rods, ball joints, a-arm bushings, brake calipers and pads. I also converted to a F-body serpentine belt drive system. I Installed a DeWitts radiator with twin SPAL fans. Lastly, I installed a FAST EZ-EFI. After lots of work I am finally back on the road. The car drives great. After I get some more miles on the motor, I will tune the timing per Lars papers. This site is a incredible resource. Many many thanks to all, Dave
