Hello from Pennsylvania - This is my first time posting here, but I have used this site quite a lot over the past 10 years or so restoring this 70-72 Cutlass Supreme. It's a 70 350 block and was originally a 72 Cutlass body that was rotting and eventually swapped many parts into this 71 Cutlass body. Still a project car but getting close, hard to find time with 3 little ones running around these days.
Thanks to everyone for all of their indirect assistance over the years!

Reason: spelling
Yep, the rims are the Cragar's. And i'm not sure about the fuel filter, there was a glass one when I got it but it leaked all the time. I put a regular one on and then wrapped it when I was trying to figure out why it was having a hard time hot starting. I put in a 160 thermostat and an electric fan, just recently put a spacer under the carb based upon what I read here with the new fuel. Should I do something else with it?
It would engage and sounds like it spins faster, but the engine stumbles. Only when I hold the gas pedal down does it start and causes everyone to look at me since the exhaust is extremely loud. Haven't had a chance to test with the spacer yet. The guy that put the exhaust on for me about 15 years ago cut the end of the headers and slipped the 3 inch dynomax bullet mufflers on the header with 3 inch pipes going in front of the rear tires. When I was 22 I loved it, but now that im 37, married, with 3 little kids I want it a bit quieter. lol.
