As with an airbox shold I be trying to just modify what I have or blend a 72 and 79 together? I might have a loom around and see if I can find any major differences that will require a 72 to merge..
Thanks for your help.
I'll have to start moving towards some performance mods when I have this baby handling even more supremely than that of what she already does..  |
when pontiac introduced the rear disc they had the best stopping power in 79 and for their time. i already did a conversion on mine with factory parts and i'm very, and i mean very happy with it.if you don't want to change the diff, i'd just slide out the axles and change the rest.
about the scoop, i'd probably get a scoop that came with a 403 olds and try and get that installed. the hood opening on a 72 is different though than the other years, as far as i know. earlier scoops were a bit more roundish...so i guess you have to try and see.and if you want to replace the springs contact the source i told you. tell them all the specs your car has and they will match the best springs for you. they are not a one over the counter store. you'll be happy that you bought from them,guaranteed...
