get your stock engine running good first before getting speed parts. Im waiting on a new dizzy to correct a bent shaft that makes #4 miss. Im hoping for 60mph I have had 57(per gps) as my current top speed. when the car came to me it seemed sluggish and top speed was 46 and I was drooling over high comp head and webber carbs. Dont worry if that tilly carb weeps gas a bit I have bought every needle and seat combo all have weeped. clean up the inside of the tank valve or replace so it works well.

Im a second on maintaining patina. I see there is some open metal. the patina crowd uses linseed oil to preserve the patina.
