1977 Chevrolet Camaro - plans for 2011

I installed the poly bushings for the front end a while ago, it was probably one of the least-fun things you can do with a car.
The first lower a-arm took about four hours including dismantling but the second only about 15 minutes once the correct technique using a angle grinder and air chisel was mastered, the upper arms were a whole other story... although they also were alot easier using the right tools.

Here's proof that they're in place




For future reference two jacks makes life alot easier taking things apart and back together without spring compressors.

I also cut half a coil off the front springs, lowered it about an inch. Now i'm desperately trying to find some proper lowering springs as it's just too soft to lower any more on the stock ones. One of the header tubes is already half the size it's supposed to be.



here's a pic of what once was a subframe, further rear most of the side is rusted loose.




I've also come to the conclusion that connecting a vacuum hose to the distributor might have a positive effect on fuel consumption, but as the car runs rather sweet as it is I guess it needs ported vacuum. Anyone have any advice on this? The engine is running mercruiser thunderbolt ignition parts, and here's a pic of the carb without any connections whatsoever for ported vacuum, Which one is ported vacuum, or is there even one on this carb? If there is, how do you go about opening it an installing a connection?



thanks in advance

Edit: Now i've connected the dizzy to full manifold vacuum, which according to the butt-dyno was a good thing to do, it raised the idle a bit, which was easily lowered to 500 rpm, without getting the desired unstable idle ;D

I don't have a timing light available, but i'll check it when I find one.
