Viola - I’m pleased to provide an updated diagram for anyone in the future who would like a harness-view diagram. Let the record show that I’m 99% sure about this

6 years ago I removed the shock towers and swapped in an RC-107 on my 1977. My plan originally was a 302-based 347 stroker but when that block ended up being bad I switched to a 351w-based 408 stroker. Fast forward to now, I got the engine and trans (c4) fully installed in the car with headers and all. Then realized there were some serious space limitations, making me think the engine sits too high.

There isn’t enough clearance between the stock brake booster and the heads to...

1977 with RC front end and 351w]]> 5 Wed, 06 May 2026 03:15:25 +0000 http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/ball-joints.130987/ http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/ball-joints.130987/ invalid@example.com (TeeEl) TeeEl When I went to grease the passenger side lower ball joint, I expected the rubber boot to puff up as it filled with grease, but instead the grease started squeazing out of the bottom (edges of the plate that is rivited to the control arm). I haven't greased the driver side yet.
Is this normal?...]]> 6 Fri, 01 May 2026 23:47:28 +0000 http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/new-carb-flooding.130975/ http://mmb.maverick.to/threads/new-carb-flooding.130975/ invalid@example.com (Damon89) Damon89

You've been really helpful to me on this car regarding the work it needed, I'm hoping for another great answer. I've finished the manifold replacement to see the exhaust is cobbled together, welded, spliced, and the muffler has some soft spots. Surprisingly, none of my normal suppliers show ANY exhaust parts for this car- RockAuto, AutoZone, Napa, Carquest, Ebay, Google, all come up empty when looking for the intermediate pipe and muffler. My buddy who owns it would not exclude...
