thanks guys, btw the name's Thien.... This is my first time restoring a classic so I'll be sounding pretty ignorant. I have purchased a service manual and trying to make sense of everything. I'm going to make an attempt to rebuild my carb tonight, but if not....I'll just take road killerz advice and turn it into a 4 barrel....will the disc brake conversion be the best thing to do? are modern drum brakes still not good enough? I'm not turning it into a muscle monster or anything....just a car that my kids will want to take to the prom when the time comes......I'm going to try to diy for the most part, but if there are any advice that you guys can give to me.....shoot

thanks

Thien Dang
