Eric - thank you.

Jeff - be careful! Some items are fluffed and puffed on display engines that would not be that way in production.

Me - only a guy like Mac would have pictures of crank pulleys! (lol)

Was it only 69 Sprints that used the rectangular coil? Mine has an incorrect jobber round style one.

What I noticed;
Appears to have a painted by-pass hose w/tower clamps.

Routing/configuration of Dist Vac tube and retainer clip on head.
(mine has more rubber hose at carb side and to much tube to the Dist, side)

Round ID tag for PCV on manifold. (VHTF)

I think that was a FB only thing in '69,
I don't know for sure about the A-Body.
