skyblue Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 What transmission is in this bish? B/W or JATCO? This is the second 71 column shift Ive seen today so Im hoping this one works out in my favor... I dont see the B/W emblem on the back, but maybe that only came on earlier models. Either way, sweet find. so from the looks of the missing emblem silhouette it seems it has the B/W tranny. Quote Link to comment

I know über deaf one wanted to do one. we could meet at the sf side of the gg bridge and caravan back accross it (how many dattos can we get on the bridge at once? haha) and go through the headlands and hwy 1.

yenpit Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 The black coil below that other monstrosity is the original coil (no longer plugged in), along with the 1x1x3 inch square ballast resistor. Got no idea what that other contraption is.........looks like someone just grabed a coil at the junkyard, and threw it in to get by! Man you've got a perfect dash top, and really nice door panels!

yenpit Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 That dash "Coverlay" (Although I think it's "Dashcaps" that makes it) works great! It's made for the 70-73, and the rare 1968 (???????), but not the 1969! Quote Link to comment
