Ok. Here is the engine compartment with just the beginning of the "gross" cleaning. Because it was GROSS!! It will be perfectly cleaned with no alteration to finishes, patina left in place. My understanding is it is all original with the exception of Petronix added inside the distributor. Original coil was left in place. Close ups will be shown. Please give comments on anything not original if you truly know it is. I am rapidly learning about these as much as possible. I have collected unrestored muscle cars most of my life. Had this car fall into my lap. Always wanted one. Thanks for the help!!

Thank you for the info. I was under the understanding that in the 1975 and 1976 models that all the vacuum lines where gray. George from Auto Atlanta told me this and he seams to be the expert on these cars. Are you familure with this change or have you seen it. The car has basically not been touched. Just found out that the car never had the battery tray conversion and other than the fuel line with the inline fuel filter in it that the other fuel lines are the original wrapped factory ones. The car is in a shop and they told me about them. They were leaking pretty bad ( took the car in to a specialty shop as I am not yet familure with this type of car. Was advised all the the lines were original. Still learning a lot and appreciate all the help everyone gives me
