Hi Kevin
Do your condenser connections screw on or clip on Screw on points fit early
25D4 dizzy clip on fit late 45D4 dizzy. '69 should be early with domed top
cap, later ones use a square sided one. AFAIK all 69 vintage engines should
have vacuum advance fitted (pre emissions) YMMV. UK plugs would be Champion
N9Y or equivalent on points the gap should be 0.025".
Graham.
