OK so I broke down and decided not to part the '72 but to get the ol' girl running. What I need is the length of the spark advance link. The rod that connects the long lever to the advance under the flywheel unless someone is willing to donate ;) Easy to make but at what length.
The other situation I'm working on is the shift button configuration. Since I have the wire harness up to the missing control box it's easy to add a choke button and ign switch which I already have wired up. What I need to do is jump a wire from the choke power feed to the shift to she won't start in forward. I'm considering using a switch from a car side mirror control. You know the kind, left, right, off in center. Use the "off" position as forward and wire the left/right rocker for neutral and reverse. Any opinions?
