Didn't get the blades yet, but blade holders. And also the arms. Turns out, if these are correct arms... they match the ones I already have. Pictures later. Gotta go finish X-Mas shopping.. And then take the car for a spin!! ... Chick, I just sent you an email with some picture on another subject... D

Radiator cap looks like it was left outside right next to your car, a spot on match.

Those plug wires look to good, your going to have to drag them around the block a few times .. :D

Here is the Solenoid bracket installed. Put it right where it looks like it once was. I can see the change in the dirt and rust line  ;D..

Probably to rest against the starter housing and keep the bracket from being able to rotate, which would pull on the wiring.

Well I got my hot side battery cable mounted. Put that all back together last night. Note the battery hold down with the "K" stamp. The ground cable bolt and washer for the firewall. Soaked all in evaporust over night. That washer sure is special. Would hate to try to find one.... Danny
