Guess the mods on this SA

Its a new game. Guess the mods I have done by looking at these two pictures. Extra
points for inferred mods that can't be seen directly from the pics. No cheating and
searching for my previous posts either

Let the game begin. Thanks Kent!

I'll check back every few hours to see how its going.

As to the question of an alternator where the air pump used to be. I think thats
doable and I think I've heard of someone doing it.

I'm thinking you might have done something about the alternator, but I don't know what.





Looks like a suby to me, totally flat.

Those are TFI coils. Trailing plugs are useless. You don't really need them. They don't do anything other than clean up the emissions a little. At least that's what I've always been taught. Correct me if I'm wrong.

No, thats a stock oil fill tube. The Dell air cleaner makes it look small tho.

Yep, the FMOC is standard on SAs.

Theres an under tray, its just not all rusty so it blends in better.

Replaced fusiable links with more modern ones is all.

LHD conversion? Ok your reaching now

Honestly didn't know what to do with them, so I left them. Theres no going back
at this point. This ignition rocks!

Clearly, you haven't looked way down inside the rear left fender well space, opposite the scissor jack.

They're in there.

Hold on a minute, let me look ... nope don't have any there. It was a used car when
I bought in 1983 tho so maybe the previous owner kept them.

Did yours come new with them?
