On Nov-07-11 at 10:05:33 PST, seller added the following information: Note : A few things need to be mentioned, This engine is equipped with Dual SU CARBS, not stromberg's. I am sorry for any confusion. It clearly shows them in the provided picture, I thought I should clarify in writing. Also many oversea's bidders and elsewhere. This auction is not contingent upon buyer seeking acceptably affordable Shipping terms to your location AFTER the close of auction, ebay provides sources for shipping, it is suggested to explore these costs in advance of bidding and or buying. As stated earlier, I will do my best to assist with shipping. That means being here to put on transport at specified time,etc. Not paying for the shipping and or transport. Shipping/Transportation costs are the Responsibility of the Buyer. It's really pretty simple, just enter the requested information and you will receive a quote. I also have had a few questions concerning the bottom of the doors, they are solid, in the pictures you can see the weep holes/drains, it is not rust, it is a tan colored self leveling rust inhibitor coating. A few have asked? What else would I do if you were to keep the car? I would install a pertronix or electronic ignition, no more points or condensor to deal with and more reliability to fire todays fuels, it can be purchased for about $100. Installed in 1-2hrs.Or have it installed? Not an issue, however it does help the performance. I just never got around to it as I didn't drive the car as much, as I would have liked to have. The hood supports are solid. The car was ran on Valvoline All-Climate motor oil.Wix or Fram filters. In-line fuel filters.Shifts smooth and reliably, Overdrive works fine, light indicator works too. I'm sure there will be more, just keeping you posted.
