its been 8years since I picked up the '73 chassis from Dave Shepard (then started working for him), and this bit of bling I had to share...

Patrick Motorsports twin plug setup I debated for some time whether to go with a crank fire setup (which would have cost me half as much), but the big cap is so purdy with all those stubbs and wires going everywhere!!! couldn't help myself. Now onto injectors! I'm hoping in a week or so I can get the car out of storage and finish her! Cheers guys!

That's the wrong one. That shaft fits the late 7R case and you have the early one. Sorry..........

Oops - you erred in your analysis... Look carefully and you'll see that the picture was sent from Sydney, Australia. As such, parts in the southern hemisphere are exactly opposite that those used in the northern hemisphere. Although the most visible result of this is the driver being on the right side rather than the left side, a little know fact is that in the southern hemisphere, the crank actually turns in the opposite direction than the engines here in the States.

So as you can see, the part is actually correct, for a southern hemisphere car.

In the future, please look more carefully at these pictures before making such an obvious mistake...

Yeah, but the car's in California. It won't work until he gets to Australia unless he changes the fuel filters to the counter-rotating Northern Hemisphere Adapter style.

I wish I had known that you were looking for that set-up. I would have refered you to my friends at JB Racing - You would have saved over $500.

Thanks for the reminder steve... now if i want to get this thing on the road in Cali, I need to find a cheap source for platinum plated titanium muffler bearings and a flux capacitor to boot.

If you lube it with vegemite, you should be ok.

Just don't sneeze when you are setting the firing order!

I've got the JB Racing dizzy and it seems to work really well in my limited experience thus far. It's a gorgeous piece of work too.

I ran out of Vegemite two weeks ago here in the states... I've been going through MASSIVE withdrawals.
