Default Re: Rebuilding an Ardun OHV 1954 - 1956

Apologies for the long delay on updates but yes - following in Sisler's quest to rebuild the engine and car. Still in the parts acquisition mode and did find a C69A block. In a couple of the original owner's letters, Sisler mentioned the car had a C99A block but not sure that was correct since the 99A was a 1939 engine. So, the C69A will have to do for this go around. I do have an angled drive and early Vertex Scintilla magneto but probably one of the F.T. Griswold mags is the right time period but still haven't found one of those yet. I don't think I will mess around with the Hilborn fuel injection since this car is meant for driving around with my wife. I was able to find a good set of original Ardun intake manifolds that the original owner knew weren't very good but that's where I'm going to start. I think I'll use 2 Strombergs instead of the 2 European Solex carbs that originally were on the car.
