They were exclusively designed for over a decade, hanging with distinctions as the 300b, 00c, nd finally the 300d.

It recently received a thorough check up and tune by GLB Motorworks Inc. based I here in St. Louis, O which included cleaning and freeing up the injector pump and plungers for optimum fuel injection operation, nd new ignition rotor within the distributor. With fresh oil & filter, t has regained faithful operation starting and running with ease.
