BCWs did not have front end ballast. 

The ’80’s were a terrible time for engines. They typically had 3 miles of vacuum hoses with dozens of time delay vacuum check valves, solenoids, and relays all in an attempt to meet federal emission regulations. If your engine is missing all this stuff, I can only think that is a good thing.

I blocked the plate not only because it is the previous owners plate, but also because these are indeed different times.  Like said above, there are tons of whackos out there and they can easily hide in plain sight due to the anonymity and ease of access the internet offers.  Maybe this gives me a false sense of security, but I particularly like…[Read more]

Id block the plates too. We live in a very different world than our Grand Fathers did. To put it bluntly, theres too many freaks out in the cyber world.

VERY NICE! Thanks for the pics.

Looks great but can’t figure out why he drilled the big holes in the license plate.

Ssschwankey!

Well the engine has an H5 code, with the complete stamping indicating build date between December 1968 to July 1969.  1500cc 44hp M157 engine.  There’s probably receipts for the engine in the documents but I haven’t had a chance to timeline it all out yet.
