Editor's note: If you don't have a valve cover oil filler cap you can just reach over and borrow the radiator cap :-)

Both engine and car have been recycled. I still have some parts left over. That's the way we "took delivery" of it (freebie).

Napes -- I swear I see a grounding strap in a black sheath (like mine) hanging below the coil over to the head. It bolts to the lower coil mounting bolt and provides a good ignition gound to the coil.

Jimk - I have that type of black sheathed ground strap in that exact spot on the touring.

You can see one end of it on the coil mounting bracket

Here is a shot of that ground strap from another car:

Yes, I see what you mean about the grounding strap. Maybe when they relocated the coil up to the front of the engine compartment on the '75s and '76s the strap was no longer practical and they just relied on the split pair from the neg. battery terminal to the block and the body (up by the brake fluid reservoir).
