Hello
i have just putschard a 72 C3 LT1. I have completed a tune up except for the changing the condenser and points. Much is said about this car having points and a condenser. But I can’t find them. I have posted a picture of the distributor. Normal they are visible. Are under neath the bottom plate. Or is this not the original distributor?
Thanks
If you do not have Lars papers on timing....E-Mail him for them. The curve kit and the timing are one of the biggest things you can do to that LT-1 to make it run better than stock. All it is, is your time and about $15.
I see an 8 on the intake plenum and oe LT1 valve cover. Without additional pictures the intake could have been sprayed we really don’t know based on what we see.
Related question for LT1 experts: Was the LT1 engine available without the transistor ignition system?
All 70 and 71 LT1's have transistorized ignition and all 72 LT1's have points.
(I am fortunate that the LT1's in my care #111130 & #121783 have their original TI systems, #783 was built the last day, 18 cars from the end of 71 production.)

The points have been removed. Looks like a Pertronix unit.
