The front bench is completely shot! You can see in the back of it some towels sticking out the back, There are a total of 2 towels and 2 blankets in there...
The rear area still has the carpet in it, But it looks good, The rear window doesn't work, But I here a clicking sound, All the lights work, front heater works, Rear doesn't, There is a small hole in the driver side foot well, But nothing I can see in the passenger foot well.
I tell you they must have left the windows open or something...In some parts there was almost 1/2" dust and dirt, The fine stuff you get around Moab and the like.
My wife said I cant really do anything to it till the 40 is finished, But at least it in the garage

I need to finish my 40 first, Wife's orders ;p
Forgot to ask about this?
emission stuff?
yep, air rail
congrats bri...glad you got it! welcome to pigdom
how did it feel driving it home? did you feel oddly cool?
last pic doesn't show up???
interesting, high hood with F &1/2, mine's(soon to be bluerock's) an early 74 and doesn't have the high hood.
Figured someone would pick that up when it was posted.
any idea on the original color?
Good luck with it!

Thanks Ige, Yes I did feel cool! I couldn't tell if it was the rig or me driving 55 on an 80MPH stretch of I-15 
But like I said before, I drove quite well, Fairly straight, Not real bouncy, I did hit a huge pot hole that almost threw me into the side barrier 
Any idea if the air rail could have caused any damage?
3_puppies, I checked, IIRC its has a June of 74 tag on the B-pillar, Sorry I didn't take yours wen you offered, It just wasn't the right time and it was a bit further away.
Color? The only thing I can tell is it was white, But I dont quite know otherwise, I will check later, I got home in the dark and my garage lights aren't the best.
Thanks all

Well, A few more little things...
I adjusted the timing, It was set at 10deg instead of 7, Seems to be running smoother, I have a radiator leak somewhere near the bottom, Choke pull is broken and so is the nylon gear in the rear window, I adjusted the clutch so it wouldnt engage so close to the top.
It appears I need a bypass valve as well as an air rail and required hoses, Im wondering why it was removed, Would having a header mean anything about the bypass valve?
Oh well, There is always tomorrow

think you have made off with the most sought after piggy
.........a shure nuff 74 with a 1 1/2F engine
; congrats; give Lance at IPOR a call; he fabbed up 10 sets of solid rockers a few months ago and might have one or two left or he might be willing to turn out another batch seeing as there is continuing interest..........

Thought you weren't supposed to touch it till the 40 was done??!!

Last I heard (second hand) Lance was out of the rockers and needed an order of 10 to fab up new ones. Check with him though for the official word.
I would try a washing machine.
