I noticed several things that never caught my eye in the past - little details like the location of the spark plug wire holder on the left side engine tin - or that the vacuum line for the carburetor goes up and over the carb body - not around it. It appears that the engine tin is grey vs. black based on the contrast with the black hose and air intake bellows.
I have a 4 rib boot for later when I get super anal about the appearance - the 2 rib works just fine and I've got a handful of them. I only have the one 4 rib and it'll go on a finished car.
I'm waiting on my 'anti-siphon' valve before I connect the new fuel line and clamps (not pictured in the early car manuals).
I wound up swiping the fuel pump, stand and gaskets from my spare motor...it's now more 'torn down' than built up. I've got to fix that - I've taken too many parts off of that motor at this point. It's time to start putting things back on it so that I can test run it again in the Spring.
