Uncovered the car to take to a car show on Saturday. Time to put some fresh gas in it and take it for spin to the alignment shop.

Installed Eric's PB booster and master cylinder into the '70...original master rear seal was leaking.
Looks good.
Plus...Had to completely disassemble the dash on my '97 F150 to remove the instrument cluster...failed emissions due to the "Check Engine" bulb was burned out. Replaced the little bulb and reassembled.
Passed emissions.

Could not get my car to start today. I have no spark. Didn't realize when I hook the battery back up today that the iginiton was turn on for a couple of hours. Friend and auto mechanic figured I fried the pertronix system. Replaced the pertronix system and still no spark. Going to go get a new coil and see what happens. Was planning to take it to a car show tomorrow. Other wise the car will be sitting in the garage tomorrow if this doesn't work until I can figure out the problem.

Coil was the problem, car fired right up after I replaced it tonight. Looks like the car show is back on for tomorrow. Should be around 75 there.

Took the longest drive yet today with the Chevelle to go to a car show across town. First adventure out with that much traffic on the road. Show was great, I have never been or really knew what to expect. They had a parade and all the classic cars also got to be in it along with everyone else. I did win award also at the show. Best part of the show was I got to spend the day with my 30 year old son and sit back and just talk with him all day.
