The guy who looked at it and the guy that does the welding are ...

Hi Steve,
It's yellow, and the comm plate list it as paint code 64, but the actual paint looks more like 94 to me (less 'lemon', more 'butter'..).
It does have an electric steel sunroof - I wondered if that might get you a 'K' on the comm's plate?
Your suggestion on a knockdown kit sounds like a ...

Hi Guys,
Came across a local Sprint which has a 'normal' commissioning number VA24xxx, but an unusual suffix letter at the end DLOK. (it is definitely a capital K..)
I know DLO means Manual O/Drive, but I've never seen the 'K' before - can anyone shed any light on this?
This car has an LSD fitted ...

The TSSC lists GS1-2266 or GP6-2267 for the front and GP6-2268 for the rear. Are these correct?

Can anyone confirm if those numbers right?

3. Can any who have had the Pertronix in their cars for a while give any feedback on reliabiity/longevity or performance?

G'Day Pete,
I bought my Sprint about 7 years ago and it was already fitted with an electronic ignition system. I later learned that it was a Petronix Ignitor. It ...

Greetings from the Antipodes...
I've had some discussion with Simonbbc recently trying to get a Powerspark electronic ignition module for the Dolly..

It's always good to be able to document failures, then we can figure out good from bad - don't know that I need any welds failing at 100mph...
