I started the thread, and no, I don't think we are off topic. Quite the opposite, we are going into a lot of detail and I have been learning a lot! Thanks!!

I just hope we don't get into personal discussions of any sort. As with anything in life, opinions may vary and more so when we are talking about the way things were done 50 years ago... and that article cited by Ross was really a great suprise and helps settle most doubts on the internal fenders, I would guess.

Thanks HH56 for the pics on the vaccumm lines. Now... from one of your pictures, another doubt surfaces. Your car has two screws on the engine block. One of them holds the vaccuum line and the other one apparently is just a screw with nothing to hold. On my car, those two screws hold the coil, while in yours, the coil is held to the firewall. I can't see any more coils in the pics as to compare, so I would like to hear more on coil placement, if possible. I included a pic of my engine bay in which you can barely see the coil, with the top facing up, held by those two screws, very near to the heater box.

Thanks,
Victor
