Wow, I feel very ashamed to even be here asking questions about a 1977!!! There should be like a car 101 quiz before the site allows an idiot like me sign in, lol!!! Actually I was certified mechanic in several area's of auto repair. I never got into the mechanics, I went electrical and then got into automated machinery. Y'all can tell that tho by the simplest of questions I ask, lol. Good luck with the car Ron, Happy Holidays...
