Re: [T3] questions from the new type 3 owner

["Tim Johnson" <skinny@cablerocket.com>]

AS I said once before I have a shop full ow stuff and was a type 1 guy with
type IV power I have done this lots of times and have lots of both type 1
and IV stuff (got a box of fi stuff) and I like to trade and barter

it would look like I'm looking for the stuff from a type IV car to be able
to put in the type IV motor into the type III
hope that sounds right

also pictures of the right parts would be good

oh I'm in ONT Canada too
