Oil Leaks / Springs
As a long time owner of an original '63 Daytona R1 4-speed HT, I can share my experiences with you. More than likely the rear oil leak is mainly due to the pan gasket, which is difficult to properly replace with the engine in the car. I'd pull it and do both seals and gasket to dry it up.

As for handling, I put the heavy duty front springs in, the 526122's that Sasco sells, and Lark station wagon springs in the rear. Handling improves 1000%, no lean in the corners, and a firm but not unpleasant ride. Gives it a slight rake as well. fredbuchholz@cyberportal.net Apr02

61-62 lark MC
61 is the same as '62. '62 only uses the 2 lower bolts for mounting. Ask for a Master Cylinder for a '70 Chevy Nova with drum brakes. . The Stude operating rod is correct for this cylinder. The lines come off the fender side of the cylinder. Backup Light switch
A mechanical switch on the pedal; from 80's Caprice.
