That swap is for the LA computer, not the PF. It has different wiring like I stated with that swap information

I have an LA2 computer that I don't need. I bought it off evintho. It is identical to the LA3, ask him to be sure.

I would be willing to sell it if you needed it, you will need brown tops, and a large vam too.

Looks like someone is going to have fun. Looks like my 75 Midget project years ago. Lot of parts. Only no internet and no one to help. Good luck and keep us informed.

Check end of distributor. It drives the oil pump. Had one of them strip out. I noticed oil pressure before damage done.
