1972 introduced the classic 99 B engine.
Electrical wiring is a problem, because of its age. Especially troublesome is corrosion on the rivets in the fuse block -- the rivets on each bullet fuse corrodes causing resistance and heats the connectors.
Electronic ignition on the later 70's models are troublesome, with parts hard to come by.
Other hard-to-find pieces are the water pump and windshield.
