I have a 70 W30, but it has had the carb changed, which, is kind off a common thing, as many carbs have been changed in the last 35-40 years
Yes, I am well aware of all that. My point is that the W-30 is an OPTION on a 442. Not a seperate model. Everybody adds options to their cars, spoilers, ram air hoods, disc brakes, posi rearends etc. So as long as the car has all the correct parts and done correctly it should be considered a W-30. Notice I did say ALL the correct parts and done correctly. I know most would not agree with this but what is the difference from a car that left the factory with this option and one that has all the correct parts and done correctly ? Really, other then a piece of paper and the price, what would be the difference ? I`ll tell you. Nothing.
