The shipped to dealer is not necessarily the sold by dealer. My build sheet lists Bryden Motors in Beloit,WI, but I know for a fact my dad purchased it new from Boulevard Motors in Marshfield,WI. My aunt was the office manager.

Also check the rotor and the contact point in the distributor cap. When was the last time the cap and rotor were replaced as a set.

2 - are heavy gauge boomerang shaped braces x 2 Bumper braces probably not your vehicle. 3 - are curved and contoured pieces that look look they would be part of the front wheel wells but how or where would they fit? x 2 Front fender extensions Wild guess 55 Chevy What other cars did the previous owner have or was working on

Location should work. My question would be is the size/rating (uF) correct for the application. Edit Also you have changed to 12 volt so that may affect the uF rating required for application. To long since electronics 101 for me to remember.

Currently 5:1 ratio, all run insured and licensed. Why? Because I have convinced myself they are cheaper than drugs and/or booze.

My observation. For what it is, an upgrade to a Toyota seal beam system, it's more than adequate. The cost of the individual components exceeds the cost of the kit. All components are marked 12 volt. For those who have converted to a 12 volt system it will work fine. If you still run a 6 volt system it is not as simple as replacing the lamps and relays with 6 volt components. The wire size(AWG) in the kit is to small for the 6v system. The power wires appear to be 14 ga and the ground wire is 18 ga (1.25mm). In my opinion it should be a minimum of 12 ga for the power. The kit I purchased will be used to up date the Duster. I will purchase a second kit for the '51, because as I stated originally the housings, relay sockets, and fuse holders are worth more than the cost of the kit. I can supply the 6v components and larger wire and still be money ahead.

Ordered from my local Toyota dealer. Will be here tomorrow. $34.00 all in with taxes and shipping. I'll report back

3/32 hex I would try an electrical contact cleaner spray, before I would take the switch apart

Knobs are held on with set screws. Yes standard bullet connectors

Now a new Mopar 3.0-liter Hurricane Twin Turbo 510 generates 510 hp and 500 lb. -ft. of torque would get my attention real fast and if one is crazy how about 1000hp https://www.motortrend.com/events/direct-connection-hurricane-i6-twin-turbo-crate-engines/

Ultimately your choice. My logic in my restoration. I already have a muscle car, so I restored as close to original as I could afford. I will tell you the '51 garners more looks than the muscle car at cruise nights. I think a fuel injected hot rod flat head would be more unique than a V8 retrofit. And as you stated sooner back on the road.

Arm chair shade tree mechanic guess is a loose valve adjustment. Better a little loose than to tight. Second SWAG an exhaust leak

I'm in Cheyenne. Be warned Cheyenne Frontier Days (worlds largest outdoor rodeo) is in progress this week. Can always find a cold beer
