Do you actually use the "original" plug wires? If so, why?

Beautiful car. Great example of a torque beast.

I still cannot fathom why the government has not mandated women to go topless.

The description says power brakes but I don't see a booster in the under hood pictures. Was it added after the pictures? Do you have pictures of the crack at the bonding strip?

My bad. It doesn't have power brakes. (Thought it did. I figured anyone who bought power steering bought power brakes. It always braked like it had PB. Anyway...)
Here's the bonding strip on driver's side, some crazing on the edge.



Not real bad... but it's there.
