Put a set of headers on that bad boy and re-curve the distributor then you will not have to worry about all that other junk.

Yes, it's there. The car is a 04A build date, so it sounds like it's just on the cusp of the production change from the all rubber hoses over to the metal connector pieces. It's great that members are able to share pictures like those in this thread, because now I'll be able to use them to source the parts and complete the set-up!

Thanks to all the sYc members who keep passing the old knowledge down the line.

Don...04A would not be considered 'on the cusp'...these cars first showed up in September of 1969...there were a number of changes in the Dec-Jan time frame. An early car would be late August to late October..maybe early November.

You are right about the SYC members...incredible wealth of knowledge here and folks like to help. Please let us know where to mail the bill [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
