I'm considering adding a '79 242 to the fleet. It's a stick with OD (a M-46).

From what I'm told it might need a new "Fuel Distributor." (Apparently the car runs "rough" when it's warm outside.)

The car has over 400K miles on it, but that doesn't really have me concerned. The seller tells me that he has maintained the car and has records.

I'm told the interior is in rough shape and there are a few cosmetic issues with the rest of the car, but it is all stuff that can easily be replaced. No major rust issues.

I'm hoping to inspect the car soon. What should I look for?

Thanks as always.
