    I'm in Cincinnati, you mean Ken

    But let's face it, he must live within an hour drive!:TU:

    HI Dan, yes i meant Ken... I must have gotten all excited when i saw he was from CT. How often does one get to see an original car like that...?!

    thanks

    Bob-

    Sent you a PM.

    Hey Dan, yes he's about.... one hour away! How did you guess? :bglasses: And that's from almost full south to almost full north in CT. This ain't Texas, that's for sure! :Brow:

    Thought I'd post the pic Dan sent me here for posterity sake, if someone else is looking for the VIN location.

    Thanks Dan, I'll take a look tonight! :TU:

    We have a winner!

    Not that I thought differently, but it's nice to know for sure.

    Yep, did that a while back, it's a match.

    The distributor doesn't have the correct part number as I changed it back in '77-'78 and sent the original in as a core. :Dou: That's a bit easier to resolve than a non-matching engine, though. Now I just need to win the Powerball to fully restore it.

    Great news Ken!

    The funny thing is, I just got back from Coventry, CT. And drove across CT about 7-8 times within the week. Texas, heck I'd say CT is closer to the Dallas/Fort Worth area.:Brow:
