You stole that one!

Can't wait to hear if it runs. At that price it doesn't matter.

For the original price I wouldn't even have bothered. For $725 at the door, that's a deal even if it ends up not being able to get back on the road.

Steve thanks for "diggin in the barn" as I was cleaning out the car I found the "missing" window underneath a set of power window door panels that came with the car!! On another note I took of the valve covers and the carb, pulling off the valve covers I was surprised at how clean it was and this is on both sides!! The intake manifold had rust on the carb mount area but it looks to be contained to where the throttle blades were located looks as if water sat in there for awhile.

I also pulled the spark plugs and they were all burning correctly had that nice "brownish" red look to them.
I need to do some rewiring under the hood it looks as though the mice had a field day with the wiring does any one know where I can get a wiring schematic from for the GP?

How do you remove the shift knob from the floor shifter?

74 heads screw in studs, not a junk motor for sure, what's the code on the right front of the block. See if there is a 74 by the distributor hole.

You will need a 70 gp engine harness....LEmme look, not sure if I have anything good. I would expect that if it is a 74 harnesss plugged in to the firewall everything is goofed up. Need to start with the right harness.

Keith when you say right side are you referring to when I am standing in front of the car?

Best method is to release the lower snap ring under the knob first with a small pair of snap ring pliers (90 degree type work best for this) and move the snap ring down the shift lever a few inches. Then slide the knob down far enough to clear the button and upper snap ring. Then remove button, upper snap ring and washer. Then you can slide knob up and off shift lever.

Hope that helps!
