As you see I'm the new guy lol. I don't know much about this stuff but my father-in-law has a 1970 maverick, standard tran. 3 speed on the column with a straight 6. I'm guessing it's a 250 not really sure. I believe everything on the engine and carb is all original stock. Anyways, the engine needs a rebuild but right now we are tinkering with the ingnition trying to replace the old point system with a computerized performance coil and distributer and all that. I'm thinking we need higher plug temps because it's eating a little oil and fouling the plugs. We've been having a hard time finding a distributer for a 6 cyl. I think eventually we might go with a 302 if we can find one but for now I think we will stick with the old 6. Looking for the distributer and any other inventive ideas and specs you guys can pull out for the new guy hehe.
I got my lazy butt of the computer chair and looked at the vin seems it should have come stock with a straight 6 170cid and I don't know of any modifications. It's also a 69 even though it seems they lump all the late 69's and 70's together. Any ideas welcome folks!!!!
Key's on the column what's that make it? According to the vin it's a 60's. The sticker says it was manufactured 11/69. VIN OK91U230525
