What to look out for?

Or ask about for that matter...when looking at a V8?

I know about:

Top hose
Fuel Clip

Anything else specific to the V8?

It's the top heater hose Zeb.
Also Heater blender valve. (check for leaks above pollen filter & whether Hot gives Hot Air & Cold gives cold as set on the ATC)

Rear springs seem to be a weakness although I've not seen any broken.
Cooling fan .............95% were fitted the old 3 speed type.

Peter or Tim might advise anything else.
