We don't have Dolomites here (US), but it sounds like
I may have all the parts needed between the two cars:
a. engine - '71-72 1296
b. flywheel - '71-72 1296
c. clutch driven plate - '78-79 1500
d. clutch pressure plate - '71-72 1296
e. transmission and driveshaft - '78-79 1500
Is that the right stuff?
