Nice work on the brakes - they make a huge difference with these old sleds.

Yes, Autolite 2100 2bbl. After I warmed it up I gave it full throttle a few times, power was adequate but not overpowering. I want to get it running right this spring, then next winter I may consider some bolt-ons like a 4bbl and manifold, heads, headers, cam, etc. It won't ever be a hot rod, after all it's a C4 automatic convertible.

I'm interested to see how well the brakes operate when it's all done. I'm very lucky to start with a power front disc brake car. I went with the best semi-metallic shoes I could find, Hawk Street pads up front, stainless steel brake lines, and I'm replacing EVERYTHING.
