I had a door bell button rigged up to to operate the horn. And as with most folks, wiring with no rhyme or reason to it.

My PO had problems with his feet, so he hacked up the throttle linkage for a shorter throw. The entire linkage was held together with bailing wire. I had to fab a new linkage. Other than the linkage, he didn't really hack anything up too bad.

Mine had 4 sets of different exhaust hangers.

70 with a 402, when i went to rebuild it i found chunks of timingchain, pushrods and lifter pieces in the oil pan.This was a runing motor. All he did was replace broken parts and left the pieces in the pan.

no exhaust hangers just hanging from headers with loose bolts and choke plate tied open with bread tie and radiator supported by dish towels stretched from side to side
