Hello All

I have been lurking in the forums and finally got registered here. I am looking at purchasing a 1975 242 4sp for $500. I believe it still has the B20 engine in it. It currently has 189k on it which isn't bad considering the year. I am not as familiar with the B20 engine as I was with the B21. I figure that parts won't be impossible to come by. I guess my question is what exactly do I need to look for when I go to look at the 242 in regards to the engine? Are there any particular maintenance issues that I should be aware of? The 242 will be my daily driver once I buy it. Currently it is in use as college transportation for a young lady. It seems like it will be a reliable vehicle. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
