Hello Tom, and Welcome. Congratulations on your '69. Not too many of the older ones left. Tell us what you know about the cars maintenance history, and we'll give you some suggestions. Has the car undergone a state safety inspection, or a going-over by a competent mechanic?

Welcome Tom! Nice car. You'll learn a lot tinkering with them and this is the place to get your advise and answers.
There are a lot of knowledgeable people here. I haven't met an unfriendly Fiat owner yet.
