I've only seen one single post lift, IIRC it was made by Atlas but not for storage?

Centerforce II kit resurfaced flywheel. Light pedal smooth engagement. I've used 3 of them over the years.

Center force clutch here and appreciate the light pedal. Didn't like the McCleod at all; higher pedal resistance and didn't like the engagement just never felt smooth.

I like the Classic Industries OER Latex roof rail weatherstrip, they didn't have latex door weatherstrip. So a mixed set door is still a little hard to shut, but seals are best for minimal air noise and water leak at top corner. Sauron has commented before about removing the door stops and putting a ratchet strap around the hole body and allowing seal to take a set over X number days? Maybe he can comment more on that.

I would second the recommendation for "Eastwood Factory Gray Hi-Temp Coating" is holding up well. easy to apply and bake in. Color is pretty close to as cast.

Is it rich at idle? Even after Eric did my carb I had to open that secondary stop up a bit to get it to idle.
Best way is to flip the carb. I got tired of guessing and got a dual wideband takes the guess work out of carb tuning.
Is your exhaust crossover open? Choke setup?

I 've been following along and don't want to muddy the waters but how is the firebird different in that it uses a c shaped pitman arm?
How is that? I drove my uncles 69 Trans Am RAIV back in the day and it had extremely quick power steering?

"fresh rebuild" Did you rebuild the heads? tell us a little more about this rebuild. My guess:
Only a bad head gasket or worse a cracked head will pressurize coolant system and not all coolant leaks let water by into oil/exhaust. Need a more information about rebuild?

Love my two post but can see Charley's point on a lift you use often for service the 4 post would be superior, just drive on and go to work. Now if you're doing rebuild work then I think a two post shines. Heck buy both and then you'll have the best of both worlds.
My back is also junk so whether a two post or four I wouldn't be without one.

Fred;
Where did you get your 4 inch seat extenders? I have only seen the 2 inch variety.

Paul I fixed my 302 leak after having the engine out 3 times to do it. Very frustrating.
Bottom line measure and check everything, my leak was at the crank rear seal journal.
Turns out a machinist (at some point) cleaned up the seal journal by removing .010" created a significant leak.
I used a .010' shim under a new Fel-pro Fluoroelastomer seal and sealed both the shim mating surfaces to the block and to the seal.
Use a good RTV Mil-A-46146 Adhesive Sealant.
Problem is the crank has to come out to perform that! So not an in the car seal replacement.
Funny things happen to motors after 50 years! So again start with block is the dimension correct no line bore?
Whats the journal dimension?

It would be nice to fit one of the new Lithium Batteries pretty pricey, but they do last.
