Tune it; drive it the rest of the summer to get aquainted with it, then decide what you might want to do with it. My 74 coupe had the L-48 and I had no complaints with it. Congrats on the 74. :thumb

82 emblems are one year only. Before you dive into the console, are you aware of the two hidden trim screws beneath the center cluster? You may want to consider ordering the 82 assembly instruction manual (AIM) when you order your emblems. Congrats on the 82. :thumb

Have you checked for codes on the computer? When was the last time the car was tuned? :thumb

My .02: she doesn't want to sell. :thumb

Contact the sponsors of the show and determine whether they have scoring sheets available. :thumb

Use a good quality lithium grease. :thumb

441 is the assembly line job number for your car. It may match the last three digits of your VIN. I am not familiar with the white label. Where is it located? It may have been used if your car was selected for a quality audit. :thumb
