    Engine Bay Sticker Placement

    i am a little late to this party. but it is a no-brainer that the red air conditioning decal wont be used. as i do not see a/c on your car. i would toss out the ignition coil and voltage regulator decals also. since neither one had a decal. they were painted on. need to take those to a place...

    Accelerator Pedal...Trim or not? What's correct?

    my 1971 Grande (born oct 6, 1970) has deluxe interior. including trim on gas, brake, and e-brake pads. my pedals are factory originals to my car. paint is only thing i know of on my car not original. gas pedal and trim show plenty of wear.

    Divorce sale

    i am searching for an Autolite 4300 carburetor. MUST be stamped with D1OF-FA on the base. although these were often mis-stamped with the D missing. this stamp only appeared on the Autolite carb used on 1971 cars with 351c 4v and c6.
