need for a 10/74 260: hood latch pull (the knob if it will separate?) The lower vent Knobs(control the air through the fenders,round black) choke handle center of dash vent grate between seat console battery hold down & tray rubber bumper parts any interior trim parts in black I any of these items are available let us know. We live in the state of New York in a small town by the name of Nunda ( about 45 miles due south of Rochester). I recently purchased a 74 with baby sh** brown interior and would like to make it black (the brown is a little hard to look at). reply to me, or disco_rod@hotmail.com

Congrats Mike! Don't you think you oughta email me a beer for finding this thing? If YOU find a car in NY, you better give me the heads up first!! BTW, you say "next to nothing..." What are you counting, the trailer rental!!!!?? Good luck with it, Jeremiah:D

as i remember on my 73, the vent lines etc are a tangled web. i believe the one i had leaking was similar to yours, but its been many years. i know i pulled the rear trim panel inside the car (across the back) and replaced with some generic Napa fuel hose- its held up for 8 years since. Good luck, just buy the right diameter hose & start replacing the rotted sections...YMMV

Try Hybridz.org alot of really wise folks there i'm sure can help you out. Good luck Jeremiah
