Hi,

My 79 is bone stock, the only thing missing from the engine bay is the distributor shield. Trouble is I have no pics, if you give me a couple of days i will take some and post them. Any particular angle? Air cleaner on or off? etc. Dennis.

Pictures help, but so does the AIM.

I didn't reply because my 1979 was an L-82.

Actually there isn't much difference between L-48 and L-82. L-82 has bigger valves, different pistons and cam, Block and head are same castings. ( L-82 has 4 bolt mains but otherwise they are identical.)
