Scored ACCEL parts in bone yard..

I hit the bone yard last weekend and was so busy pulling parts that I only spent the day at one. Didn't even get to my three other regular stops. My ultimate goal is to get as much stuff from the bone yard as possible. Call me "jim dirt".

I was passing by a Pontiac station wagon. A late eighties model. I was looking to score some secondary metering needles from the four-barrel when I noticed something rather familiar.

Yellow spark plug wires. Hmm, could it be? Sure enough. ACCEL Super Stock 8mm wires which went to an ACCEL distributor housing. Inside was the rotor and sitting on top of it all was the HEI coil. Almost $130 worth of stuff for $22.50. It all looked like it only had about 2 months worth of use on it. The inside of the distributor cap looked almost clean. I guess everyone else had just overlooked a station wagon with a 305.

Strange but true. I will try to replace most of my stuff this week. I scored some other stuff too, but that is on the Body and Interior board.
