    Default 535 for free because of missing center pin on the Distributor cap

    God, that guy was lucky. He got it for free. only 60K miles.
    Also interesting his project with 2 New Garrett T04 turbines.
    Maybe someone here can give him some comments on that

    Default Winfred, guess why I got my 750 Highline so cheap

    it was running only on 6 cylinders. Here the pic of the dizzy cap with the missing center pin.
    That was another frustrated owner.
