Hey - congrats!
A question for you - how did you find out about the recall? I just got
a 78 280e which is one I have been wanting to get and restore for quite
some time. Someone had said there may be a recall out there but it was
too old for any of the normal sites I am aware of.
Thanks for any info!
Bill
