Thanks mushroom. It has a center up front location

I hit that manhole cover in Trenton nj. Is the late seventies not the early eighties.

It would probably be best to get an original if possible, right?

We had little money and were young and dumb. I should have at min pulled the pan off the bird engine. If i could only go back and keep the bird motor and the custom s. What dummies😣

Thanks for the help. Bill v
