What was the previous color? That looks great. How supple is the dyed leather?

KastelikClassicCar makes door cards and I bought a set with the ash tray deleted. If needed you can find them on this forum or the internet. Product was great.
Previous color was dark gray.
As to suppleness, I'll say a couple of things. I would say they are stiffer with less flexibility than high quality furniture leather. Even compared to higher quality leather in English luxury cars (top of the line Jaguar and Rolls Royce, for example), they are firmer. I conditioned the heck out of them before coloring, and condition them regularly. So they are about as good as they are going to be, but the leather is probably more durable than supple.
That said, the dying process did not change the suppleness. The seats are as supple now as they were when I bought them.
Pull the cap off of your already running Engine and timed engine and take a picture of where the rotor is.
Remove the distributor, install your new distributor with the rotor exactly in the same place Engine will start and run.
Get your timing light out, and set your timing by looking at your flywheel.

If you're putting that rubber gasket around the fuel neck filler area read up on the process, it's a bit annoying. Someone had the tip of using some female-female screw extenders, look at the install threads. I found those made the job much easier and also makes the screw easier to remove if needed in the future
