The Upright hook that sits just behind the thermostat housing that you connect the chain to when lifting out the engine

I will put you out your misery Guys.

Flying was correct,

I had the front engine lifting hook off to paint, it was looking a bit crappy so I thought I would make it look a bit better.
Since it has been so quiet on bellett.net, I thought I would stir something up again.

Bullitt thought the grille is blue like his sedan, hence Dave's comment ABOUT BEING MISSING FROM HIS CAR,

however because it was such a beautiful day here in Mudgee, the grille is chrome and this may sound ridiculous, BUT the blue reflection in the chrome grille, would you believe was the blue sky!!! NO JOKE!!!

Hey Dave, how good does your engine bay look in the sun!

almost better than mine

Ken is right. The Coil should be black with a little hitachi brand on it. Good point Greg... I think all later model crankcase ventilators had the outlet with a hose to the carbs.
Also, There isn't any small C shaped bracket on the nut between No 1 and 2 spark plugs support the thermostat wire

cheers, Lewis

If you want to get real picky it needs 2 more camshafts

Yes i did say two more cause the dohc engine has 3 cams.

do you mean the balance shaft in the lower part of the engine???

sounding more like a Mitsubishi every day

they are the same block as a 180s the 3rd cam runs the oil pump and if you take the welch plug out you could run a dizzy.

This GT never had any pipes for breather to the carbs.

THANK YOU GLENN!

That is exactly what I was going to say, from what you told me, the engine bay is original! Also shown in the Wheels road test of the same model!
I did not say "what is the wrong colour", I did say what is missing.

gee, it's a while ago, but into the sump.

Top one should go to carbies, one below it to Block, just below the head, and one under catch can to tube in the sump.
