I thought slant 6 didn't have a crank bolt?

The 50% probably refers to the glossiness. In the FSM there is a paint section (at least in 67) some of the black says 80% gloss. Ask you painter what exactly he is referring to. I just checked and I can't find the 80% reference. I know I read it somewhere!

You could probably make one from spring wire. I mistook the clip that holds the pin into the gas pedal for the spring. The clip 14-01-08 keeps the pin that the pedal pivots on in place

Many of the basic parts water pump etc might be purchased at many auto parts stores. Your local stores might be able to order them in. You could always go the cuba route and use whatever parts are around. Like do an engine swap from a Fiat, or the like

What you should do is pull the axle and use a press to press them in.

It's a spring to keep the pedal pointed on the right angle. And a bit of anti rattle. I'm not sure if they are reproduced. Start a wanted ad, the assy is the same on A bodies 67-70 ( probably thru 76) as far as I know

73 up Stock front disk parts. Upper control arms Spindles Brake caliper and related parts Rotors Lower ball joint Probably more parts too

There are parts suppliers in the US who will ship to Europe. Other members have used services where you ship your parts to a US address and the shipper at that address then loads a cargo container and ships the container to Europe where the content is separated and sent to each destination.

The proper way to test gauges. Get a 12v power source. If the gauges are still in the cluster, attach the 12v plus to the proper pin in the cluster. Attach the negative of the 12v power source to the metal housing of the cluster. Get several resisters (5 watt will do) 10, 23, and 72 ohms (...

I think your plan is sound.

I have one word... Rediculasness

I did some testing... and I was wrong how the ECU works (i'll update my earlier post) I got 1 v on the neg side and less than 12 V (started off at 11 then quickly dropped to 5 as the ballast heated up) on the positive side with key in the run position. I concede that the ECU grounds the coil...

67 has many 1 year only parts, 68 has some wonky parts like the dash pad under the dash, 69 is mostly back to simplicity, plus the 67 is super classic design for the GT trim, 68 has the cool round turn signal lights.

I have seen fiberglass insulation but no asbestos like material. Perhaps in some electronic insulation but I suspect it's bakelite Please let us all know what if anything is found and where. I guess there could be asbestos dust form the late 90s brake pads and shoes

Rule of thumb. If it was bolted to the engine before paint it got painted engine color.
