ok, a friend told me about this thread so I came to see the list... I read it all... <<<<<<<<<
I feel compelled to add the following because most of the "1970" parts were either 70-71, or 70 & early 71 parts...
1) red crested 4 speed shifter handle (with shift pattern); presumably an early production run part which replaced the standard black round knob on cars with deluxe interiors.
2) red-crested 3 speed shifter handle (w/o shift pattern); presumably an early production run part which replaced the standard black round knob on cars with deluxe interiors.
3) Muncie 3 speed manual transmission; This was the standard transmission on the 70/71 Formula, and was optional as a "heavy duty" 3 speed in 70/71 V8 base & Esprit models; Pontiac RPO M13, NLA in Firebird after 1971.
No offense meant here... Craig and Mike have slapped me a bit when I go astray !! hehe
Raimairnacho>> while you "can" open these hoods with a reciprocating saw, the saw blades DRIFT easy with fiberglass. I would HIGHLY recommend using a metal straight edge probably 1/4" inch to do the tops and bottoms. Verify the lip first on the block off on the closed off hood. You Can possibly use a flat file to fix up a wavy one if not too bad.
Good luck...
