Just awful...Redone interior

[Naj ✝︎]

Hi, Robert,

Early M130 engine. The features you describe are of the later engine.
Not exactly sure if the bayonet type filler cap and shorter inlet manifold came with the later cylinder head....

Look at the engine by real close on the Vegas car, it looks to me that the engine is a M127, not a M130.  The brake boster vacuum line looks like it is one that is on the M127.  Also the oil filler cap on the cam cover is a screw on type, M130 engine had cam cover with a slot and turn cap, much is like the non-locking gas cap.  And last, the cold start solanoid is one from earlier motor.  Does anyone agree?

 Looks correct to me. Here is a picture of my '69's engine taken in May 1969

I like the description of the second V8 car on EBAY, turnkey, runs and drives just fine. Probably just a slight problem not having a brake master cylinder reservoir. I guess they didn't mention the stopping part.

Oh dear, obscene. Why would someone do that to a car ?

I love the detail, the pink pin lines down the side and the pin lines around the hub caps. the devil is in the detail you know!!

Hello John,

Just plain beautiful.
Another example of an untouched engine bay picture.
This is the way by which the engine looks best. I have not come accross any restoration yet the comes close to this fully correct applearance.
Even all hose clamps, the shine, etc. ... everything absolutely perfect.

 Thanks Achim,
 I wish it looked that good today. Here are a couple of current pictures. Hoses and clamps replaced, Tach cable needs to be re routed and the rubber "glove" over the breather pipe/coolant pipe put back on. All the Zink Chromate platting is just about gone too. Wouldn't win any prizes but not too bad for being almost 43 years old
