Yep, been awhile - again.
Trying to sneak in a little time to work on the '66 Imp to tie up a few more loose ends. Have a new glove box to install but can't do that until I replace the HCV.
And while that sounds straightforward enough and should be, I will add that my current one is, well.....there isn't one - it's missing. It's still back in the 1980s somewhere. So is all the hardware. And any body gaskets or seals.
Currently in the process of sourcing a replacement, have a couple in mind but would appreciate seeing a photo or two of another '66 (or 64-65 as well, probably?) to figure out how the remote coil-sensor-thingy installs and how the little copper tube feeds through the firewall. I figured it was all internal but noticed while looking at replacement valves that there seems to be a little indentation for it to come out into the engine bay and run exposed over to the valve.
Also - there only appears to be 2 mounting holes in the firewall (L, R) for the valve but all the replacements I've seen look like they are set up for 3 (left, right, bottom). Is this an issue or more of a 'one size fits all' approach?
