Buying tips for 1969 164 140-160 1969

The B30 will flatten cam lobes just like the B20's but they are more difficult for the untrained to detect as the big six is a smooth runner. It should have LOTS of power, and if it doesn't, dig a bit deeper.
The front end bushings are a bit different from the 140's and 15 years ago the upper control arm bushings were not available new. I don't know about now, but my 73 164E needed them. Had to pluck a control arm from the wreckers to get a good one.
Great cars, but they gobble gas.
