Anyone have picture of the shoulder belt in the stored position on a 70-72? I’m about to install the shoulder belts and I could use some help with the mount & tab location. Any measurement would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I need one more piece of the puzzle, if anyone has 4 sale or know where I can get the bracket that holds the hard lines at the front of the AC compressor (see pic below) please let me know. Thanks for any help!

It’s alive! After spending two nights trying to get the timing set I gave up on the unitized distributor and installed a HEI just to test the system. I’ll have to troubleshoot the unitized as it’s not working right! So after a few driveway brake tests it was time for a drive to the gas station! 8 miles on the clock and she drives great!
