1524 reporting engine number and THX

[davegee]

Evening Gentlemen,
Today was the first day I drove a MKII...ever. Bought #1524 6 months ago and it was missing pretty bad. Had other stuff to do so it took a bit.

Followed advice given here and converted to Pertronix #2.
Also sent my carb to Daytona for a rebuild.

Vacuum timed (Thanks Barry) at 19 inches.

The car has 25K on the Odo and after extremely careful inspection, I truly believe it to be original. Everywhere you look, you see perfectly preserved, but not restored details.

Pat, if you are still collecting this data, my engine number is 538.

Thanks to you guys for a great site with great info. Couldn't have driven her today without your help.

Dave
