The '73 runs, sort of so a fair amount of work to do on the fueling system. The right front brake caliper must have blown the o-ring, so after some research I will probably just buy an assembled caliper and replace it because the C3 models like this one have a tendency to blow them out after sitting for so long. The engine has definitely has had some work done to it as it idles like its got a cam and who knows what else done to it. "Lightly massaged" I would say.
Better to be safe than sorry, right?
Now for some pics for all you gear heads...

You should replace all brake calipers and or wheel cylinders, you'll thank me for it later. Your wallet maybe not. Repack the bearings while at it. Any vehicle we picked up that sat more than 6 months, received brake line flush and inspection of wheel cylinders and or calipers. Finding out when you need to stop, the vehicle doesn't, OR locks up, is the wrong time.
