Needs a little work. Pretty much just get the "bubba" out of it and adjust the brakes. But it will be worth the time and effort.

Thanks guys. The guys that had this car last fucked it up pretty bad. (shoving rags into the block breather tube resulting in blowing oil out the valve covers and oil dipstick tube) putting the wrong carb on ( kickdown linkage wont bolt up and no adapters will work) and putting all new brakes on it without adjusting the adjuster screws to spec so the car barely stopped.....
And now the trans wont shift out of first. if i hook up the vacume to the modulator it blows smoke out of the tail pipes, so i am getting told from everywhere that the modulator valve is the culprit, but on these transmissions they are internal modulator valves. ugh.

Nice Old Indian!!!!!! I almost bought one just like it a quite a few years back. But it was all original and the guy wanted $5000 for it. Back then, $5000 was a lot especially for a 4dr. I got some assorted 60s Pontaic hubcaps and some chrome valve covers for Pontiacs, even have a old TH400 out in the shed with the BOP pattern. It is amazing the shit one can accumulate over the years. If you ever want to get rid of it, let me know, I've been looking for something to "rat."
