First, and I read about this on 'chevelle forum', i could not get my plate to mount properly due to the location of the solder location of the ground wire to the points plate. I did some research and this looked like the best bet for what i wanted.DD reliability and a small cost. There was some wear in the old stuff but i kept it all.Ĭrane XR-i Points-To-Electronic Ignition Conversion Kit: The old rotor weighs as much as the new cap LOL. The previous ones were insanely long.ĪC-Delco. Was able to use original wire holders so things are pretty neat. 045 or more but I wasnt comfortable with that just yet.Ĭrane Fire Wire Exact fit #255-2400. Winter carb rebuild maybe change plugs after that. I wanted to find some Platinum equivalent but had a hard time so R43 for now. I found R43 and they looked ok so I went with same plugs. I wanted to keep things looking original yet modern so I did a little updating as well. Then get owner 3 to add his signature and details to same paper.Īlmost done with my first tune up. The original mileage is hard to believe so some substantiation may be helpful in the future. I got his number and am thinking of asking him to write up the bullet points and sign it. Original owner purchased car right here in Aurora, CO. He thought the dash pad might have been replaced or dyed but thats it. Even the plastic box with snow chains.they are from the original owner. He looked over the interior and said he looked as he remembered. So they painted the topper and the vinyl top a blue poly color from the interior. He mentioned how the inside of the bed wasnt painted the painter said the bed was SO PERFECT that no one would believe the originality if he painted it. So about a year after he bought he had it painted. He told me when he bought it, it was very straight however there were scratches down both sides from hedges and branches. Says she also added the bed cover sometime in the 70's. Mark, owner 2, tells me the original owner was a woman who towed a garden trailer around her property. Just like I doubted the mileage at 46,xxx. PO Terry told me all this but I thought it was BS. He sold it to Terry who I bought it from making me the 4th owner. He bought it in 93 from the original owner. He proceeds to tell me his name and that he was the second owner of the elco. I tell him yes I bought it with the cover and recently removed it. He gets closer and he asks if it had a fiberglass cover on the bed. Sometime during the morning this guy comes up and starts asking about my car. I took the elco so people would have an idea of what I was selling. Here is the interior starting to get stripped.Saturday Sept 6 I attended the Bandimere Raceway Swapmeet as a seller trying to unload some accumulated parts from my elco and others. So i had to assemble so I put grease in all wheels and all swivels read reviews and that what it said was needed. So thats what I bought 1500 lb capacity per dollies. I met 3 guys at cars and coffee yesterday and asked 'ever used dollies' and all 3 said 'of course, Harbor freight. i havent had any help yet maybe with another human you could move it back forth but I dont know. but the only way to move it back forth is to side to side it. So I went to HF and wasted a hundo on some dollies.i should have known better and may still return them.i can move it side to side which is most important for me in case i need to get in passenger door. I bought some plush floormats in a near blue.Īlso removing the carb and send it to ted mountainman for a nice rebuild. I bought extra jute and a 36x72 piece of matching carpet that I am going to use to cover the rear wall. Its the accmats product direct shipped from accmats. i bought the mass backed 80/20 loop from Keeping bench seat and its cover but getting new ALL NEW FOAM and springs fixed. Started my 'simple interior redo' :dontknow:
