Dave,
If this distributor turns out to be junk, I have an NOS 1962 Dual Point in the original box if you need it. Let me know, Bill

Thanks, Bill. Looks to have all new fresh internals and was running on this motor about ten years ago or so, supposedly. Thanks for the heads up!
 Cheers Dave

Will do, Ryan!
Tim, just the stock breather tube on the intake. They do make an adapter to drill a PCV in the side of one of the covers, but I don’t plan on doing that. Parts availability is a pain! Ugh! Cheers Dave

Here you go Ryan!
So a good day tearing into the old Vette. I'm replacing the main harness with a new one and it seems to me that things were thrown together under here haphazardly. I think this car was apart at some point but don't know the history on it.  But based on things in seeing not hooked up and routing of the harness, I think it definitely has something going on. But up first is more mechanics: brakes!One often wonders what's happened to these cars over the years. And looking at the sway bar, one has to really ask, "What the....???  "So any idea what that could be? Welded ends, some sort of bracket welded then cut off the spring perch. I was thinking maybe they did that for a make shift tow bar or something. Weird. Even with all the destruction, I still found two factory markings! Yellow blop on the steering outer tie rod stud and one on the pitman arm. Neat to see. Front end will be converted to disks for safety and all new parts in the rears, so it should stop nicely! So the rear axle I know was swapped. At least the center section was. This car has all the traits of a 340 car, but missing a couple so I figured the rear axle would be a good clue to add to the evidence. But sadly, the code "AB607" doesn't decode to a 62 Vette. Also, the carrier number is there, but no date. So what's the deal with that..... Tim!?  It's moving forward! Hope to be starting it next month if I ever get the darn harness in!! Cheers Dave

Oh, heck no. Just mechanics ala’ Napa68 style!
 The owner just wants to drive safely and enjoy the car without going broke. Can you do that with these things?!? Cheers  Dave
