The pictures show what looks like well thought out replacement front and rear suspensions. I especially like the rear disks. I'm not sure what you would have when you were finished, certainly not muc

You have a 70 B with a Weber which means (to me) that someone converted the SU's to Weber and possibly didn't connect up or block off the absorption canister or vapor separator. You might check the

Unless the rotor is scored badly or warped, leave them on, it won't hurt anything. I've got 100,000 miles on one of my original rotors that has a grove in it from the 1st time I put new pads on it. M

I believe that only in the later years (74 or 75 on?) were you restricted to 4th in o.d. The o.d. drops the ratio in 3rd just like it does in 4th, by about 20%. It's handy when cruising between 45 a
