I'll look through my stuff, I used to have a coil bracket off of a 74 Formula 400 two barrel. Pretty sure it would be the same. Have a bunch of coils, mostly Chevrolet 087, 202, 174, etc. Not sure what # they were for 1974. Enlighten me?

I've been following OVERLUD work on his 74 Formula and like his process & the way he is presenting information to the forum. With that in mind I'll use his abbreviation, and will refer to my resto guy as MFG My Friend Gil.
MFG will start work on my SD Formula on or about June 1st when he finishes his current project a 67 sb Corvette convertible. As I may have mentioned earlier this is an amature restoration project, started by me approximatelt 15 years ago, that has been setting for far to long.
The engine has been rebuilt with some modifications, the body is on a rotisserie, stripped with most body work completed. Many of the sub-assembly are completed. Most of the digital pictures have been lost. With that in mind. I'm trying to bring MFG up to date so he can get started.
So yerterday I started taking parts an assemblies to MFG's shop.
A re-skinned door.

If we're not careful, MPD, MPR and MFG are going to start comparing notes and the price per day will go up to two beers...and a dang bag of peanuts !

Well, I can tell you My Aching Back (MAB) is happy to have a job....I'm not doing a concourse restoration. Doing my 71 TA for my wife and to see what it takes.

But, this one sounds like a good candidate..Hats off to those concourse restorations!

I hear you Mike! You're taking yours to a different level than I'm taking mine, but still, there is a lot of detail work that never seems to end. Looking forward to the day I can just get in, crank it and feel the smile creeping across my face as I hear it, feel it and reailize that my hands had a part in bringing it to the point where everything works as it should and it will be a fun ride to whatever event I'm headed to. Raising a glass of Bourbon to all who dedicate their time and effort to keeping the Pontiac Brand alive and well! Cheers!
