Dave Wells Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) This one needs to be checked out in person. Back doors look a little "saggy" and mis-aligned. Right rear fender appears twisted too. But, then, again, you're not buying a $10,000. car. Get it running and ride! Edited January 3 by Dave Wells (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynard Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 There has to be a better way to route the plug wires than over the open lifters. I don't know much about early Chevys, but is the distributor and coil on this engine original? Was there once a vacuum fuel system, or was it gravity, like Ford? Neat single port exhaust manifold. And ,BTW, that's a siren, not a horn. Maybe an old parade car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tank is under the seat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbeach Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Distributor is correct. Coil is in the correct location but is a replacement. Plug and other wires need to be cleaned up a bit and not laying on top of exhaust manifold. This would have used a Stewart Warner vacuum fuel pump on the fire wall, drivers side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
