Hi guys, Our vacuum advance unit on our Autolite IBP-4000-D is not working. We have installed the Pertronix electronic kit and rebuilt the carburetor.

The car model is an MP2, with a 2BBL carburetor, automatic transmission. I will attach all the pictures I have. One of the problems we have is that we are in Canada and i...

How much?

Hello everyone. Exhausting searching for the tension (torsion) bar bushings at the front where it enters the control arm. Do they classify this bushing as the lower control arm bushing?
