No no, it's been a while so I'm not surprised your memory is foggy on it. The distributor in the picture came with the wagon. The one you sent me a while back was an older dual point distributor that you had, along with a fancy Accel coil. This distributor I just pulled out is newer (electronic, no points), but still old and out of production.

That car looks cool with the rallyes on it, I like it. If you lived down here though, that glass would definitely need tinting....

The GM Collonnade cars are very polarizing. Either people love em...or can't stand em. I like some more than others. When I was a kid watching NASCAR, that's what they were running; even Richard Petty ran a Monte Carlo for a bit.

Ted is one that can't stand them but he's a good sport and follows along anyways, lol.

Not that i cant stand them, i just feel theres parts they coulda designed better. I still appreciate them if i see them! But there were generations where gm was just HORRID.... Lagunas and aerocoupes in specific.

Foggy? I guess that's one way to put it.

Well I've put about 250 miles on the wagon the last couple days. Other than the continuing and constant low RPM transition stumble, it runs fantastic. I even drove it in the rain today too, although not on purpose since I haven't yet went through the wiper system. But I got caught in a pop-up rain storm.

I finally remembered that I bought a cheap, universal car cover for it a few weeks ago. It was on clearance at a farm store in IL for only 15 bucks. The thing actually fits the wagon really well.

Yeah, I know. The paint is crap and there's a bunch of rust. But my garage is dusty and birds/bats get in all the time, and the car still looks way better when it's clean.

Well, I forgot to take pictures, but I'm finally getting the car ready for Power Tour. A week or so ago, I overhauled an old Holley 2bbl to run on the car if the original Rochester continues to put up a fight with the stumble. Today I replaced the 1-2 servo o-ring that was rock hard and leaking. I also replaced all the v-belts, saving the Alt and PS belts for roadside spares. Lastly, I finally got the HVAC blower working, although it only works on high. The lower speeds still don't work due to a crusty resistor and a melted harness plug. The AC seems to operate, but it's low on charge. I'll pull it into a vacuum and do a 134a blow n go and see what happens. I'm hoping I can surprise the wife with working AC for our trip.
