Under hood detail work on my 1974 Chevrolet Caprice Estate wagon.

My dad and mom bought this car in May 1974 and only used it to haul their large family of nine to mostly vacations and family outings. For this reason the wagon only had 36,000 miles when my dad sadly died July 16,1993. In 1994 I put the wagon back on the road after the car was off the road for about seven or eight years. My dad stopped driving it and used his 1980 Camaro with 267 V-8 instead because of the better gas mileage that the Camaro gave. I went through the wagon front to back in every way to make sure the car was ready for safe cruising. As well as some brake work because the car sat so long, I decided to clean up, touch up and detail the engine bay. Also at this time I redid the cylinder heads, resealed the entire engine, painted and detailed the engine. As bad as the quality is of the photos I took, here are some pictures of the work I did at that time. The work has held up well after thirty years of use. The wagon now has just over 57,000 miles on it and is still a joy to drive. Cheers.
