Looks like a solid car. They are getting very hard to find up here in the rust belt. I'd say his asking price is fair/good for my area.
This car is extremely clean and tempting me to go get it:

That's a very good looking example. It always drove me nuts how the SS on the horn button always seemed a little crooked when compared to the raised horn logo. Typical rust spots are the trunk, wheel wells, drain tracks, frame and the roof just above the drivers door. That's a factory 305 for sure! LOL. Take good care of that one!
He is super happy and is collecting parts for his build. Sadly it will not be a LS swap, but it will have over 1000hp!

Yes, I have tried two sets and still have the same issue. I read through the instructions several times and noticed it states "For use with vehicles originally equipped with a SBC engine" But my frame has the same hole pattern as the instructions. Not sure if that makes a difference..
I called Holley Tech this AM and they are looking into it.

Thank you sir! The picture with the bolts in the clam shell mount is the pass side, and the drivers side holes are over a diameter away from being able to get a bolt in. Can you give me what the dimension between the two holes in the clam shell mounts are supposed to be?
I appreciate you helping on your day off!
