Perfect! I can't wait to get this in my car. I did drive her a bit even with the radiator problem. Just so fun. Like driving a different car after the changes you made.

Thank you!

No problem. We just have to see who has parts, and who has the time.
I just retired, and have the car apart doing a refresh for the trip. I also have another dizzy apart right now. Time is precious at the moment.Between Lars and I , we can work it out.

Hi, just got the new radiator and overflow installed. Running great!

Really a better performing car after Lars did his magic.

The distributor provided by Big2Bird arrived, and it's all set up and ready for installation. Jeff provided this good core for us to use:


It now looks like this:





It should run really well in Greg's car!

Hey, just an update. I went up to Lars shop and he put the new distributor in my car and it is running even better. No misses and so much more power.

Thank you Lars! Also, Jeff, thanks for providing the distributor.

No problem. Glad you have it running correctly. Lars is very good at what he does.
