Haha yeah bucket & shims, luckily my father was a wizard with that ****************, once you had them dialed in they stayed adjusted a long time. Frankly, for 1971, DOHC, 5 speed, all wheel disc, rarity in that period.
I didn't know till I was an adult that my dad was asked to move to Indy and build race engines for one of the teams but he had a family and business so he had to bail. I can't wait till he sees it, at 61000 miles, it's remarkably fresh, should be a hoot this summer. Those are brand new Kumho's with brand new KYB TT gas shocks.
