OK so here is an update
Under inches of caked on oil and grease I found the motor, upon tear down the drivers side oil gallies are all clogged. I spent 8+ hours degreasing scraping and cleaning and eventually got somewhere. I removed 2bbl carb/manifold and started to replace and rebuild on the limited budget I have.
I forgot how much I enjoy working on older cars
Seen as this is a little 305 it got the basics
Edelbrock performer EPS manifold
Holley 600 Carb
rebuild kits for everything else
I will be swapping out the wires when I have a moment to cut and size the new set I picked up. Having an issue with the shifter binding up looks ok underneath must be in the console so that is a priority
I also have a new exhaust system sitting in boxes might get put on tomorrow if I am motivated
Wires and hoses under the hood I will be cleaning up when all else is complete owner of car wants to keep stock A/C so I had to work that back in there I hate the look of A/c units under the hood
