Just picked up a 70 RR over the weekend. It's all original but definitely needs some love. I plan to keep everything as original as possible and refurbish what I can versus replacing, unless absolutely required. Where can one find an assembly manual or parts catalog that can be used as a reference for part numbers and diagrams? The first thing I plan to do is rebuild the carb (Carter AVS 4 bbl on a HP 383). There are a bunch of kits out there. Is there a particular kit that you recommend? I would prefer to buy the most comprehensive kit possible so I can do a complete overhaul.
Just a little background about me. I am born and raised outside of Philly and have been a GM (mostly Chevy) guy my whole life. I currently own and have owned a 67 Nova SS since my early 20s, which I restored then. I am currently going through "round 2" and trying to make the car a bit more modern and giving attention to the things I couldn't afford then or have shown signs of wear over the years. I've always had a love for MOPARs though I appreciate all things cars. I tend not to discriminate ;)
I have been wrenching since I have been in my teens. Worked at a BMW dealer in my late teens - early 20s but got out of the automotive tech industry in my mid 20s. I am now a server engineer and have been working in IT for the last 15+ years.
I still have love for working on cars on the side and do most of the work myself. Although I have a ton of tools and try to buy buy new tools as needed, there always seems to be a new tool that I need to add to the collection (ok by me). You can never have enough tools....or room. Body work is something I have very little experience with but I plan to change that (this car definitely needs some metal work). I prefer to take on new things, as I see them as a learning opportunity and it only builds my knowledge base.
If you got this far, thanks for listening. Any advice you can give me would be truly appreciated. I am sure I will be spending a lot of time here and asking a lot of questions.
