i traded a 89 suburban for this 1983 malibu wagon, its a 305HO/th350/7.5 3.42 open.
car was a total mess when i got it, PO had lifted it then the guy i got it from cut the springs without losing the lift blocks... yeah..
it had a new edelbrock and hei distributor in place of the feedback qjet, the downshift linkage was completely useless and the electric choke wasnt hooked up oh and the distributor was in a bit off so timing was around 4 btdc and couldnt advance any farther..
to date i have fixed the timing, swapped back tires from 205/60r15 to 205/70r15s, fixed downshift linkage, installed a tach, and im in the process right now of changing the intake resealing the front cover and adding water injection. i have a th400 that i think im going to install... thats about it for now! look for updates in the coming weeks!!
