Just anti-freeze as I pulled the underdrive pulleys of the engine and the one bracket bolt into waterpump leaked anti-freeze out.

With the underdrive pulleys I had a hard time with the car on the streets when it came to the blinkers and brake lights as I had to almost run it like I do when racing it to make them blink or the brake lights be bright enough to see before I got hit by some of these plow jockeys up here.

So I took them off and put stock pulleys on it and lost about 8/12 HP they say.

Nice Swinger Pictures, they brought back some memories of my 71. Mine orignally had a 318, I pulled it and replaced it with a 340. I wanted to install the scoops on the hood but never did. It was a great sleeper car no one expected to see it run the way it did from light to light. My wife used to terrorized the young punks in the MR2's and Z's. Mine also was B5 blue had the auto 904 trans with 3:55 gears. Does yours have the shark tooth grill? Any ways yours looks great! I have to see if I can find some pics of mine to share.

Nice pics, Bill. :cheers:

Good call on the pulleys. Better to have the brake lights visible to the local plow jockeys than to have another 8.5 ponies under the hood. :cents:

I had never owned one of the A-Body hardtops until we got the wife's Swinger almost a dozen years ago - only the Duster/Demon fastback styles - and LOTS of them. I really like them as the rear and quarter window visibilty is so much better than the Duster-style roofline. Just makes it easier to see what the idiots on the road are doing around you. :lol:

Sometimes all the visibility in the world won't help you with the way some of those idiots drive!

That's almost to a T what this car was.

Bought it from a little ol'lady 318 PS,PB,AC all gone now :D

It was what I call the Root beer color and I had it painted Solar Yellow like my Dakota R/T was just like it to stand out .

I run a 340 W/727 4.10 outback:thumbsup:

Yes it is beautiful out in the country and nobody to bother ya.

Just along drive to work when I was working but,all worth it. :yesnod:
