This Bay rolls on Hankook Optimo radials, size 205/70R14 at all four corners, and each tire surrounds a steel wheel topped by a full factory vented moon wheel cover with a cap and white beauty rings. The wheels and tires look great. Out back is a 2.0L flat four-cylinder engine, with a two-barrel carburetor, and which featured hydraulic valve lifters, eliminating the need to periodically adjust the valve clearances as on earlier models. Nineteen seventy-eight was the first year for electronic ignition, utilizing a hall effect sensor and digital controller, eliminating maintenance-requiring contact-breaker points.
