Well I pulled the drum and pads off the rear. Looks like either something has been adjusted too tightly or the brakes never worked right. The pads and inside of drum are glazed smooooooooooooooooooooooth. Twisted the line too when removing the brake line :(

So far its 1 wheel cylinder and a few feet of brake line. Tomorrow will be the right side and we'll see how that looks.

Used to see a lot of those lights on campus, until people started stealing them, then everyone either sold them, hid them, or used a special bolt

350 TBI
Drove 230 miles and got about 11ish MPG this time averaging about 75MPH. Not horrible I think the wind was in my favor this time. Last time I got 9.3.

I will be cleaning the TBI, doing an oil change and maybe another thing or two (any recommendations??) sometime before "storing" for the winter. AKA my garage and being driven very little. Trying to minimize rust before I get a chance to really clean her up nicely underneath.

I don't know if you meant recommendations in terms of MPG or long term storage but I'm going to do a throttle body spacer on my 95 Suburban with the 5.7L TBI (yeah, yeah, it's not a square body) the guy at the exhaust shop when I got a Magnaflow on the burb (sounds great by the way) mentioned that most people that do this pick up 1-2MPG and you know what, for a $60 part, that will pay for itself quickly! Probably not what you were asking but I hope it helps... confirm compatibility before ordering but the TBI should be the same in the square body. I myself am not ordering until next month when I have more money but I will report back on it if I remember (I probably won't, LOL)
