Thanks to the sharp eye of Don Lightfoot, he sent me a page from the AIM manual with regards to extra plug wire holders that were used in 1969. I sometimes take what the AIM manual shows with a grain of salt as there are so many changes and/or plant variations that you can not treat it like gospel. However, this caused me to do some quick research and low and behold I found these on some photos Phil had sent me of one of his survivors. I went thru my bins and thankfully I had a set so they were cleaned and installed.

This is what I have said before, if you see something that is wrong here or missing please do not hesitate to bring it to my attention. I know so little about the 69's and am always looking for input and unlike some people I like constructive criticism especially when backed up by proof. Thanks Don and others for their input.

"I know so little about the 69's"....


That might have been the case before you started this restoration...but, I think you have moved the 'knowledge needle' quite a bit

Picked up the MCR issue this weekend with the restoration article...great read. I have only one question...when do you guys sleep ??

Great job.

I am sure you have heard the old saying, you can sleep when you are dead. Well there ya go. Seeing how I am only a few short years from retirement I figure I will put my time in now and after retirement Annie and I will see the world so to speak, and then take life easy.
