It can be done with 2 crank positions but the instructions are wrong I found that out when I adjusted mine during my recent overhaul. As stated Some valves is listed twice . I’ll have to look and see if I have it wrote done correctly.
Did you notice the original post was made stating he rewired the car to 12 volt with negative ground.? If the car had been left 6 volt there would be no need for the runtz resistor.

I have no idea what sender is fitted now, but it was working with an aftermarket fuel gauge and the vehicle is now 12V negative earth. Can I get away with the original gauge? How do I wire it?
unquote:
Install a runtz resistor and it will drop the voltage from 12 to 6 volts to your fuel gauge. Mounts directly to the back of the gauge. Use the search feature on the forum there’s a lot of information on the use of runtz resistors. You can buy them from Speedway or from E Bay vendors.

They are spacers the go between the bell housing and support brackets that bolt to the side of the engine and bell housing. Don’t leave them out or you may end up with a cracked bell housing.
I set my valve clearance cold on my recent rebuild and all is fine. Invest in a set of Go-No Go feeler gauges.
Cold settings recomendation I received from George Ashe’s son is for my 49 230 engine. It’s basically .002 more than hot recommended setting.
Exhaust .012
Intake .010

He posted that he used the ECI master cylinder kit and mounting brackets. I also used the ECI master cylinder and bracket kit on my 49 Wayfarer along with the remote fill kit.

This is what I used, after doing some research I read this is as about a close to original that’s out there. I’m sure some will argue the fact but, this is what I went with. I used a detail paint gun and it turned out very well . Nice gloss and slick.
When I pulled my engine I removed the transmission first. I also removed the top bar of the core support and grill. Pulled engine through the opening. Made it very easy.
