fixed the brake line and did some random stuff with it and it is running like a champ. Also tested my welding skills on my windshield frame. might hold up but who knows.

i think it has the heads swapped because when i adjusted the valves there was gasket maker and stuff in there. I dont think the transmission is a t90 . it is a 283. ill go take a look today to make sure

Do you know which sbc you have?  It has the post 59 1/2 valve covers on it but heads get swapped a lot.  Does it have the side engine mounts?  I would expect it is a 283.  GM bell/clutch & T90 transmission with the long adapter?

It would appear you have a nice project even if a lot of things need addressed.

We have all been through it, It's just like your life. Just one battle after another. I thought my 3B was bullet proof, I have to do a master cylinder now.

i finally got gas to the carb and still don't know what was wrong with it. It is running like it just came out of the factory. there is lots of noise on the right side and my exhaust hole is getting worse. Any recommendations on a fix?

i covered the jeep up for a month because i was out of gas and it was starting to snow. when i finally put gas and new plugs in I couldn't get any gas to the carb. Im thinking i probably have a hole in a hose so the pump is losing suction. Hopefully its not a line.

Did more painting, adjusted the valves on the motor, and tore down the rear driver wheel slave.
