Nice, rare "pillarless" Coupe ! The fuel delivery has multiple issues - too many fittings for starters & the fuel line should be steel. I use annealed steel 1/4" brake line from NAPA. There were 2 styles of shut-offs that attached directly to the carb. inlet - the best one is no longer available but Snyder's carries one but one needs to use with caution - it likes to "stick" at times. Some folks use a short piece of neoprene fuel line for a gasket rather than the original felt packing.
