"nothing wrong with the early spica, the only difference (aside from some
minor cam profiling) is a mechanical decel switch vs the electrical decel
switch found in the later pumps."

69 Spica injection also uses a different idle air circuit from later ones,
wherein each cylinder is fed by a separate idle circuit air hose, controlled
by four separate "dashpots" on the side of the airbox, each adjustable for
airflow.  Later systems had the four hoses combine into one large idle air
intake with one crushable o-ring to govern airflow.

I think 69 cars, in addition to having left-thread wheel studs on the left
side, had short wheel studs, compared to the later long ones, and also had
8mm bolts on the driveshaft, compared to later 9mm bolts.
