Oops, yourself, Daren. My 1966 had a 1275, but it didn't leave Abingdon
that way. The 1966 had a take-away top and 1098 engine. By "newer" Marc
may mean that it has the larger journals. That should be correct.
Unless, of course you meant it "should" have a 1275 that had been brought
in from elsewhere because it is a better engine. THAT I would agree with!

'75 started the Spitfidget, with the 1500, square arch, rubber bumper.

No, the cockpit is bigger on the '75, and the '66 had square arches. The
top hardware won't swap.
