I got that white '74
The PO signed the title over to me this evening. He's going into the military soon, so he won't need it for a while. :)
You can see a pic here.

Sweet deal..... Looks like a good candidate..
For a nice truck. Looks like its got a few little cosmetic blemishes, but a good REPU is a good REPU. Does it still have the Dellorto setup?

nice REPU Jeff!
And if it has the Dellorto, I can give some jetting reccomendations if you tell me more about the exhaust system and motor porting.

Thanks guys!
Yeah, it's still got the dellorto. It has a funky idle circuit, but I suspect a carb rebuild will fix that. The primary circuit is really nice. :)
I currently have the engine out of it torn down to the shortblock. It overheated due to a bad radiator. I think the only things that got ruined are the rotor housings from crush. The funny thing is it still started up and ran as well as it did before; it just had an annoying compression leak into the water jacket. I think it'll be fine with a set of good used rotor housings.
It has Racing Beat sized porting and a 'short primary' RB header exhaust system. Pretty much standard stuff. It's a little loud, but not too bad. It was definitely faster than my red REPU, and cruised much better on the freeway.
