couple things to catch up on
got this nasty (but correct) TE6B4 coil from Dave Taylor
it cleaned up pretty nice. polished up the bakelite, sanded it down and resprayed and applied the correct sticker. A little detail that only early early type 3 people would even notice. I even found and cleaned up the coil bracket that has the bosch logo stamped into it. Score! I still need old style black plug wire ends, tough to find the right wires. And I need a slotted instead of phillips air cleaner screw, and the air cleaner sticker for the 6 months only air cleaner
So I was driving it around and noticed it got a little louder
oops. more NOS parts to buy
so I got that done...
I have every part I need to install the radio now too, except the dash speaker. I couldnt find the black vinyl covered underdash box for the stereo, they are early car only, I didn't want to use the late ones or the repop thats $100 and 6 week wait and still looks wrong. So I had to buy another radio on german eBay
German eBay isn't easy, but I got the hang of it now. They don't really use paypal over there, you have to wire their bank directly, and have some trust that your german and their english will work...
I finally got it last night, swapped the radio out for the nice one I have. I'm still looking for a dash speaker, if I can't find one I'll use the rear shelf speaker until I can find one
