Watching with interest as this is something I’m looking to do soon. Look forward to seeing your progress.

As far as I know, they are. I contacted them through their site earlier this year and got a reply about a week later. Very helpful and even included the superseding part numbers where applicable. Is there enough time left on the auction to be able to wait?

Not much to report - running great. Been trying to use it as much as I can. Yesterday it was filled with lawnmowers, bags of topsoil and other landscaping equipment, today a visit to the garden centre….

It was all very well organised - drip trays were mandatory! There wasn’t much attention paid to the GM stuff…

Went to a local show this weekend - there was even another flathead 6 in attendance - a ‘49 Dodge truck. Amazing given it was a small town show in England!

I’ve started adding some of this in my tank now that E10 petrol has been brought in. https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-69352-millers-oils-eps-ethanol-protection-fuel-treatment-additive.aspx Might be useless, but time will tell I guess. Might be worth sticking to the premium or super unleaded as most of those over here still have a lot less than 5% ethanol content.

Nice pictures - thanks for sharing. It really is a small world…even though I’m back home in the U.K. now, I spent my college years in northern Maine and travelled all over. Fort Kent, Presque Isle, Bar Harbor, etc. The winters up there were a bit of a shock to me though! Heard lots of stories of many old cars abandoned in the woods up there, but never had the time to really go out looking. Found a couple though. Surely got to be some old Mopars hiding!

I must be an anomaly - under 40, UK.

Apologies for going off topic, but I love this kind of ultra-niche, specialised book. It’s the kind of thing I tell relatives to get me for birthdays and Christmas. They think I’m nuts.

This one was covered in old shellac, but modern fuel with ethanol in will soon dissolve that. I coated the cork in cyanoacrylate (super glue) before installing - hopefully it will be fine.

Managed to find something that I have been looking for for a few years - a NOS, late ‘54, wagon specific, two-wire fuel sender. The fuel gauge was the only thing that wasn’t working and now it does! Gives me a bit more peace of mind when driving. I did have a ‘60 Beetle that used a stick to check the fuel level...
