The hole for the bracket was in the wrong place for the Coronet so I had to weld the one shut and drill a new hole. Then repaint the stupid thing.
I also replace the positive battery cable with a $30 one off of ebay. It looks really good.
I replace the plastic clips that hold the wires and window washer tube. I ordered new spay nozzles too.
The old one looks really nasty.

New parts under the hood. Starting to look more complete
Washer nozzles have been replaced.
NEW BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES. Got these from INLineTube.com
I am going to clean up and paint the K frame and all the suspension parts before I put in new bushings, ball joints and tire rod ends.

Thanks. I did not have access to water at the old shop. So since I moved into the new one I was finally able to clean the engine compartment to start prepping for the new engine. I want to do the brake lines and floor patches first and then install the engine. I think I have everything to get it running and moving. I am tired of pushing it in and out of the garage.

I received this electronic ignition distributor part number 3874887 When I purchased my rebuilt motor. I decided to retire the points and go with this one.
It came with this coil.
I purchased an orange ecu box and new wire harness.
I decided to make new brackets for the ecu and the coil. My carb was in the way and I couldnt mount my coil on the intake.
For an ECU MOUNT I used an extra voltage regulator bracket and welded a plate on it. I vented it to allow for air flow. It should ground well. I just don't know where I am going to put it.
For the coil. I tried to buy one of these first but I couldn't find one so I just made my own.

I decided to paint the coil mount black instead of street hemi orange.

I have 9 holes under my window washer bottle. I may just mount the ECU Box here.

Before I put the rebuilt motor and transmission in, I decided to paint the k frame, front end parts and bumper supports. I cleaned them up first, primed them and used a semi gloss black. Not perfect. I used a paint brush. It is still a huge improvement.
I also finally put on the front bumper guards. Here is a hint. you have to take out the left blinker housing and most of the valance's center bolts. I think it looks more complete. Most all the 1970 coronet sales photos have them on the cars so someone at Dodge must have liked them too.

I welded up the 7 extra holes under the window washer and decided to put the ecu under the battery tray. You can also see how nasty the k frame was before I cleaned and painted it.

BTW: I'll start a new thread before I get extorted by Photbucket. I sure would hate to lose everything I posted. Oh well.

I want to thank FBBO for fixing my broken thread. Now I can get back to posting. However, I didn't get a lot done. I was working on my Dad's car for a little while.
But I did put my car back on the Tilter so I could work on the floors.

I just purchased a super clean 3rd member for my car. It still has the manufacturer marks on it. It's a 3.55 in a 489 housing.

It's the cone type. It is untested, so keep your fingers crossed for me. I don't have any real history except that is sat on a shelf for over 20 years and should be ready to go.
