63 coil bracket screw/carb nuts!!!

[Jim L.]

Does the dist. coil bracket screw pt# 120368 on a 340 HP have a captive external star tooth lockwasher or do i have a part off of a Tucker car?

And the mounting nuts for the carb to the manifold pt# 120368 for a 62 and 63 340 HP. Are they half size nuts/plated or full size of the common verity? I have a friend just finishing up the last little bits on the car for the National Convention at San Antonio. Thank you in advance for your help.

Jim, I have seen numerous dist coil bracket screws on the '63 with the external star washer. Putting it on mine. Can't tell from the AIMS. Maybe Michael Hanson will answer this quesion as it is a timely one for both of us. One of the hardest thing is the washers. External, internal, split locks, black, shiny, bare. It's not easy is it!

John,
Do you know if no. 2 body mount posistion on coupe is used w/bolt in place and frame marked? I know in 64 & up they did not. I mounted this posistion long after body drop and all kinds of things happened to the doors closing. Removed bolt and gremlens left my car!!!
