Problem solved!
Thank you all for the suggestions!
ended up being BRAKES! there were multiple issues, from crimps in the brake lines to missing residual values, which added up to the front disc brakes locking up on one side or the other, then releasing and locking up again!
resolve the issue by a complete rebuild of the braking system. replaced everything other than the rear drums and dual master cylinder/booster. added a vacuum pump (in prep for additional engine work). Car not only runs straight now, but even stops!
Once again, thanks for the help!
Next project will be probably adding a dual 4 brl Edel as well as doing the steering links ~ seems to catch a little now that I added 11" granada discs up from.... need to add a double joint as well as a brace to the chassis to support the run (both missing as of now).
See you all at the Turkey Run!

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
