RE: Hi from new guy


Welcome, Ryan!  The first manual you should get is the Idiot's Guide by John
Muir.  The second one should either be a Bentley or a Haynes.  Many
questions
will be answered by these TOOLS.  Yes, a shop manual is one of the most
helpful
tools you will have so be sure to get one.  All are less than $40 each, even
less if you buy one used, so there's no excuse not to have one! :)

To your questions:
1) Nope.  The seat tracks are different.
2) For 1970 the engine size was 1600cc.  Rebuilding the engine to stock
specs is
cheaper than making the engine bigger.  Also, if it still has the fuel
injection
(FI) then it is definitely a 1.6L since you can't mess with the engine size
and
keep the stock FI.
