I want all of you to be aware of the fact that one week ago a 58 fuel injection unit that I restored for a customer was stolen from the owners office in Lincoln, NE.
'58 FI unit 7014900R. Serial No. 1121. Original tag. It was a show unit and had pristine castings. The castings are all refinished and in show condition. One of my typical soup to nuts restorations. The thief did not take the FI distr which was out in full view next to the unit and various parts.
Here is a list of most of the parts that either installed on the FI unit or were included separately as part of the installation kit.
Siphon breaker solenoid which is a shut off solenoid that goes between the fuel bowl and the center of the unit. Large zinc plated solenoid.
Accelerator return spring, black spacer and accelerator spring.
Gloss black air cleaner adapter. No air cleaner was taken.
Oil filler tube-painted argent silver-with a green tint. Repro oil cap.
Original distr clamp with an AP bolt-all blackened and installed. Yes I know AP is incorrect for this bolt.
Distr oil line kit.
An original drive cable housing, repro drive cable and a new repro think hext nut.
Set of paragon intake to head gaskets
Set of repro AP intake bolts.
Installation insutrctions. Probably thrown away since my name is on the sheet.
Unit had a new repro choke cover assembly and a new choke wiring harness.
Repro coil bracket. A used seamed top water outlet. Probably has minor pitting where the hose goes.
Pair of very rare original B&H fuel filter bolts.
A repro triangle inspection tags that reads. L7 7014902
One of my 58-9 fuel injection posters, etc etc.
I have the owners permission to post this info.
The thief also stole a lot of expensive port wine but left the champagne behind showing he has discriminating taste.
I would imagine the thief will be out looking for a new serial number tag for the unit. So you dealers beware of that.
The owner is very upset of course.
Keep an eye out gang. Much appreciated. John D.
P.S. ON ebay see #220449672135 for a nice pic of this 58 fuel injection. Maybe someone could please post the pic here as I don't know how. Thanx.
