I drove down early. Trying to work on this every day light hour I can. With any luck it will be running next weekend.

Cool to see the different discoveries under all the coats of paint. Lots of character to say the least.

Fuel tank, 12v alternator, 12v condenser , 12v coil. New fuel lines and electrical harness. It's starts right up.. Almost! The fuel pumps destroyed, so a little gas down the carb works great.

Been awhile, I've started it. Even pulled it out of the garage. A couple more saftey issues to address before I take it for a spin.

.......safety? Do you have a helmet....maybe a Protec? Learn to embrace the risk, accept it like a warm blanket.
Edit: I like the crazy looking mechanical fuel pump too

The throttle cable is original. It sticks using the gas pedal and won't return. I I I Love old cars. Even the parts look cool! This pump also operates the vacuum for the whipers as well.
The cool thing about the FC is I can operate the carb with my right hand while driving!!
