Genuine Autolite 2100 2100 1.08 venturi.

This addition helped smooth out the engine when leaving from a dead stop. Also the tendency for the idle rpm to bounce around. Probably a small vacuum leak. At the same time replaced all the missing vacuum lines that had been eliminated.

Lucky you... Call the CA DMV at 1-800-777-0133

I just love it when they are up for sale and still strapped onto a trailer.

A "Y" plate would be 1969. My 1968 Cougar's "WTD" plate was issued late May 1968. Here is a 69 Buick.

He will place the money on top of the west tower. Come and get it.

Funny you mentioned that as I have the deed to the George Washington
