Hello - '77 Cutlass Supreme

Hello all! I bought a 1977 Cutlass Supreme just a week ago and have referred to this forum several times since then and am excited to be a member. I anticipate that I will come here often for answers and the enjoyment of seeing what others are doing. I've never worked on cars before so all of this is new to me.

What I've done so far:
New distributor cap and rotor
New plugs and plug wires
New front discs and pads (will do the bearing in about a month)
New rear drum and shoes
New alternator and battery

The car was a runner when I bought it. Drove it 3 hours home that day. It has what I believe to be a stock 350. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

Here's a couple of "before" pics.

My first car was a new 77 cutlass that I drove for over 400,000 miles with one trans & engine rebuild. It was black on black. Two door with 350 engine.
My question is: was it a supreme or salon? 2 door, bucket seats auto shifter on console, no standing hood emblem, different front grill, the back seat side windows were mostly covered in the vinyl roof. Can anyone tell me? I was only 15 when I got the new car but I loved it more than dozens of cars I've since owned.
