Re: [T3] Distributor Drive Question

["Jason Weigel" <notchboy@comcast.net>]

<x-flowed>Early T3s engine # 1-255399 used ZV/PAU4R4 and ZV/PAU4R6 dizzys. This 
constitutes 61-63. Ive only seen R6s used and am going to search for an R4 
for my collection (just to have).

The T1 ZV/JU 4R3 does look to be used on engine # 255340-633330. Not sure if 
they were "N" aplication or not and or maybe low octane flat top dual carb 
1500 motors. I will have a close look at my work manuals and see if any pics 
or verbage backs this up. Then Like Russ said the ZV/JCU 4R3 was used at the 
same time according to the numbers and is the only one Ive seen on original 
T3 1500 S motors. This carb seem to be a pretty rare bird.
