I've already installed the exact same Wilwood kit on my Sprint. I was inquiring for a friend...
One of the 1st items I changed. I couldn't believe after I bought the Sprint I noticed it was a drum brake car!!

Not sure if you used the included pads, but I found a standard (AutoZone/Advance/O'Reilly, etc.) ceramic pad felt better than the Wilwood pads. Just FYI.

That's an nice upgrade on the brakes Eric. That burnout picture is awesome too!

Yeah, I used aftermarket ceramic pads. Along with a new master cylinder, of course, these brakes work well. Light years ahead of drums. :(

Looks like a great night to have it out. Nothing but rain around here.

I had good intentions, but ended up more interested in this instead.

Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner on it, cool. What's that out of?

Been so busy the past week, finally made the call today. Weather permitting...Wednesday she goes into storage. Happy and sad at the same time.

It's the chassis for my father's 72' LeMans, 400 4 SPD. The air cleaner was factory 69'-72'. 71' & 72' have the painted air cleaner lid vs. chrome on the earlier years.

Got the air conditioning harness made. Looks factory. Of course I used all factory parts. Bench tested it and works like a charm. My blower motor wire is purple instead of blue like it should be. But i am over it. Same plug end on it. Worn out plug end and right color wire or perfect wire and end. Hummmm let me think. I used a 69-78 blower resistor and plug. Much easier to get. Just wired 3 speeds like factory and left the one that runs all the time off. Off and 3 speeds instead of on all the time and 3 faster speeds like newer ones.

I got the wiring for the 68 now which seemed to be lacking anywhere on the net. It is the same as a 68 camaro as far as wire colors. One switch is in a different place. And the chevelle has a thermal overload inline on the compressor clutch wiring were the only real differences to speak of. And camaro has a extra power feed wire that isn't on the chevelle.

Now messing with the evaporator box cleaning and readying for paint.

New relay and blower motor the other day.
