I'm thinking of buying this but i'm not certain it has the original motor.
Does not look like a curved intake. My 72 roadster has a slanted intake for the carb. Could it be original?

Its a tec, but I can't see close enough to tell anything else.

Only real way to know is get the numbers off the engine.

Its the original engine, 1970 used a standard intake and diaphragm carb.

Thanks Markus. So it should be a lighted coil motor. Looks like a nice winter project....
Here we go again!

yes lighted coil, its at a cant go wrong price as well so even if its too much for you parting will easily exceed what you have into it. If you do get it I would be interesed in what the numbers on the engine are, I would say its a late '71 because there is no extra gusset in the frame and it has a CEV switch instead of a Miller. I would like to compare the date to mine.

good luck :thumbsup:
