yep washer.
already had the highspots of the piston grinded off and polished the piston, the heads being sent out to be machined abit.
most of the marks are in carbon thanks to my low compression set up. |

finally got her all up and running, but the parking brake stays slightly engaged on the right side, so the wheel/rotor gets very hot.
and im not happy with the throttle cable angle, anyone have suggestions for linkage compensating for tall intake manifolds???

68 or 69.
70 has four equal length sets of vents across the decklid. 71+ has four sets of vents with the outside sets having one more vent than the inside.
70 only:
71+ are same vert or sedan
