I lucked out here. The factory datacard was in the glovebox with the manual/service book packet.
Not so lucky with the Euro-to-US headlight conversion.
Unlike my '60 Fintail, the W123 wiring needed modification to allow the US lights to work properly with the Euro wiring, and different bulb-sockets in the amber front-fender sidelights to add parking/sidemarker lights to what was previously turn-signal-only operation.
Fortunately, one of my sets of eBay Fintail Euro-headlights came with an extra pair of multi-pin plugs, which I was able to incorporate into two harness adapters. So hopefully I can get this through VA inspection in time for the April GTG next Saturday.

Happy Motoring, Mark
