Hello, George!

Hope you and the family are well.

Yes, I believe the car has SU carbs. The owner said so, and though I can't tell by their looks, these are the pair of bottle-shaped guys that I recall require a squirt of tranny fluid every 600 miles.

It is really uncanny what a Deja Vu moment it was sitting in this look-alike to the 67 (?) model I had back in college! I even remembered where to hang up the shoulder harness!

I really don't need a fifth car, but I had casually looking on eBay and Brickboard for about two years for a late 60's model trimmed out the same as my car. so, when I went to see this one, I negotiated on the spot. Couldn't let is go to some knuckle-head who doesn't even work on cars, or know them.

(Just doing my part to keep another car out of the scrap stream)

It has issues in almost every system and in the body, most are nuisance items. Overall, a pretty good specimin at a decent price. 114,000 miles.

BTW, what does "blueprinting" an engine mean?
