Does anyone have a 77-78 4 speed that could tell me if the speed cable goes over or under the trans? Thanks for any help

Those are cerillo seats going in. Replacing them with a more modern and reclining seat was not much more than getting all the parts to rebuild mine.

Second Generation 1970-1981 / Re: Fuel and brake line clamps

I had a local US wrecker send some used brake/fuel line clamps up to me. It looks like they came off a vehicle pulled from a swamp with the crud on them.

Either way, my suspicions on the larger 11/32" + 15/32" clamps being orange were correct, here's 3 more. This was over a faded gold plating, which in turn is over a silver plating.

I didn't request them, but they also sent, and charged for, a handful of fuel return 3/8" clamps. As noted prior these are a light blue over silver plating. Interestingly, in a non-interesting way, both the types with tabs and without were the same colour, barely visible around the edges and vague tint.
