All right. Day two. I cleaned it up a little, it’s looking pretty good…she’s a sexy beast for sure. Not that that means much.
However, I did manage to find the previous owner of the car it came from. He told a friend of mine that he had a bunch of work done to this thing just before he sold it. He said he spent about $7500 on it including the carb swap, and had replaced the cams. I’m not sure what else he did yet. But apparently the engine was running really well, my friend actually drove the car about 4 or 5 years ago, just before it was sold. All that said, I paid $3500 for it so I think I made out pretty well.
Also, he still has all the FI gear in his attic. So I guess that’s an option. For now I’m going to seek out the missing manifold and distributor.
Suggestions on what to be looking for in a distributor ?
