66 Cutlass Newbie

I recently picked up a 66 Cutlass, while it's not my first Cutlass, it is my first in about 15 years and my first A body. I got it about a month ago as a drivable project and have been lurking in the shadows searching out helpful info. It has a 70 something Olds 350 bolted up to a TH350 to get it moving and inside it has buckets with a column shift. The wiring has been completely butchered and the body work is horrible. But its a start.

Thanks everyone, it's been fun so far. Unfortunately it looks better in the pictures than it does in person, there are a few poorly done patch panels in the floor boards and trunk, as well as some real bad body work. The wiring was completely butchered which has been fun straightening out. When I picked it up the timing was way out and the carb was running so rich it would flood itself out at a stop light, yet I was able to drive it about 200 miles home when I bought it. However, I'm having trouble getting the engine to running right. I'll be posting in the engine thread later to get some direction.
