Oh, here is where I am right now with the restoring of the engine bay ......................
Any advice towards getting her correct would be great! What sticker is on top of the air cleaner arm?
Sticker is an emission sticker related to the vapor return system installed on Calif delivered cars
Remove the FRONT sticker and the CAUTION FAN. Both are not original and likely came with some kit you purchased. Normally people throw half of those decals away. Looks like the air cleaner replacement decal (on on the drivers side) is the reproduction that does not include the part number for the filter. The original would ahve had that detail
PS mount and pump are finished in the wrong colors
Bypass hose is kinked - must have used a section of hoe rather than buying a preformed hose. That and the clamps were originally painted with the engine
Therm housing is missing the ported vacuum switch that would have controlled the vacuum going to your distributor
Heater hoses would have been black with AUTOLITE printing on them - available in reproduction form. Clamps fro the bypass and heater hoses would be the tower style
Allot of the engine compartment nuts and bolts have been painted over with black paint. Shock mount, shock upper bolts, spring covers, shock tower support, hood hinge and others Hood hinges and springs would have been phosphate and oil.
Fuel line would not be painted
Radiator, cap and overflow hose are all replacement non factory looking - no retaining clamp would have been used like the one in your picture
You have some non- factory wiring going on
No paint should be on the distributor and the retaining bracket and bolt would not be painted either
Looks like the vapor return line still needs to be attached to the charcoal canister
Fuel pump, gasket and mounting brackets would not be painted - but bare
Positive battery cable would not have been so thick and long
Spark plug with would have been dated AUTOLITE marked with different style boots than what you have
Missing some engine loom retaining clips that would be attached to the drivers side valve cover
That should get you started
