Pat, Picture 2 is from Dave Cheeks 76. Think it's a 22,000 mile car. Picture 3 is from my 74 which had 25,000 miles at the time. Picture 5 is from a 42,000 mile 75. I went with the PC, mainly because I couldn't find a close enough match in rattle can. Looking foward to see what you go with. If we could get George H. to post a shot of the NOS 1.7 runners he has, you'd have the correct finish without it being subjected to heat & polishing. Pictures of Steve's would be a big bonus as well. Hard to tell how they left the factory with so much variation between them.

Too many years of weeping frpm the gaskets & heat exposure. I'll ask George to post some pics of what he has. Pat |
