[T3] 69 type III fastback

[Hunt Williams]

Thanks Jim,
This is great advice.
The car is fuel injection with dual carbs..
The squirrels did a pretty good job of eating the wires leading to motor.
Car was running good until wires were eaten.
Thanks and look forward to any other tips you may have.
Thanks, Hunt
