That’s what I have, they are Kmart ones NIB I got a few years ago.

I always thought it was when they changed to the retractable belts that have the larger buckle assembly.

I will check tomorrow and let you know.

I am sure I have one.

The non-emission style has only has two ports, one for brake booster and one for the PCV. The euro one has a third port. Also you can see a tapped hole in the right hand ear for the throttle linkage, which I think is for mounting the kick down pot, which the early ones do not have. Small differences I know.

By the way, all of the ones I made are based on the early non-emission style not the euro style.

I have done a few, some with the brake vacuum connection on the end and some with it on the top. Once you weld up the holes, to make it look good you have to go with the polished look and if you fill material is not close to the same alloy as the tube you will always see them as they have a different shine.

Sorry, you are right, that was a poor choice of words.

Ok that is wrong, the condenser on the point are needed to stop the points from arching when they are opening. You can run it without the condenser to see if that is the problem, but long term will cause heavy pitting on the points and failure. The condensers on the ballast resistor and on the alternator are for eliminating noise. No sure when you bought you condenser from, but I had three in a row all fail with in five minutes of running. They were from Rockauto (Made in China). Bought some from Napa(Made in Mexico) and still running strong.

So there’s your answer. They did print the brochure in French for the Quebec market. @CanTechZ @Namerow

Those are cool, the French one in the middle of the first photo with the red vinyl pouch. Does it say it is printed in France or Quebec?

I saw that car at the Quallicum Beach car show a couple of years ago. I think right after he finished it. It is a very nice car.

No, pick the one that allows you to make adjustments in both directions and call that one #1 cly

Yes that’s what I am suggesting, remember that the dizzy tang and slot in the oil pump shaft are keyed by having the two offset so they only fit together one way. And check that the points are working like Zed Head said in post 10. I can’t guarantee that will work but it is worth it to try. Don’t worry about the vacuum hose connection for trying it get it started.

I understand that, but the rotor,shaft and cam are independent of the dizzy body so by rotating one you are not rotating the other. You may get away with what you’re trying by aligning everything like Zed Head is listing but I am not sure you will have enough adjustment on the points to make it work. I still think that your points are now out of phase. Remember the only reason the vacuum pot was at the top is that someone probably wrongly set it up on the exhaust stroke instead of the compression stroke (which is a common thing) and over came this problem by messing with the plug wire starting point. So doing three different things to try and correct it may work, just not the way I would do it.
