I picked up my carb today. The guy did a great job on it and it ends up that the guy who rebuilt it use to be my baseball coach back in little league. Small world

replaced the old factory springs w/ shocks & the bumpstops, I put on the zq8 ones... cut my 5658 MOOG springs to give me a 1.5 inch drop, I plan on gettin the 1/2" lower taller ball joints next week see how that goes. Tough job for my first time if only I got paid for all the times i cursed doin one side i'd probably have enough to give everyone on here a dollar foreal. I had to get my guy tim on the phone for some guidance n sh*t but luckily my face didnt blow up wit the springs or any dangerous sh*t like that. The other side was done in about 30 mins.

Cool project and looking to doing some suspension work on my El C. Not being too critical but we all try to keep family friendly here.
Thanks,

The 1st side is always the hardest. At least you're doing it yourself. Good on ya!
What's the plan on leveling, bring the rear up?

Didn't do anything to the car itself, but did stuff for the car. I was digging around in the garage, and found the p/s bracket that came off the blue '76 350 when I got it. I kept the V6 bracket for simplicity's sake, but it's rather large and gangly, and still has provisions for the smog pump. I'm gonna try and adapt the 350 bracket to the V6 pump. Also for funzies I remounted the aluminum alternator bracket along with the p/s bracket and sat an alternator on there. My whole goal is to make it look like it came in the car from the factory, and this alternator bracket plays a part in that. And it'll allow me to have AC again. If Buick stuck with it back in the day and still made a V8, I think they would've used a lot of stuff from the 3.8 on the 5.7 and vice versa, considering that's partly how they made the 3.8 in the first place. I for one, would love to live in a universe where the GNX was a 400hp intercooled SFI turbo monster with 8 cylinders. Anywho, that's pretty much all I did today. I cleaned the bracket up a bit on the bench wire wheel, and it says
FABCO
MADE IN CANADA
I thought that was kinda neat. Never heard of FABCO before.
