Well after a summer rebuild (by me), I finally dropped the '56 230 motor into the chassis. The motor is bored .040 over, with new pistons, cleaned up valves, all new bearings, valve springs, etc. I'm running the "Power Pack" intake, (just like @Loren) stock 2 bbl WW Stromberg carb, Langdon mini HEI and split exhaust. I installed a 12 volt alternator, the stock rebuilt 3 spd, and 3:73 Ford Ranger rear end (no more lefty tighty, righty loosey). I've also installed a PCV valve in place of the draft tube and will tie it into the air cleaner. It's time to install the fuel lines and gas tank. Using my parts wagon as a template, steel fuel lines are plumbed from the carb to the fuel pump, then a short section of rubber fuel line, then back to steel. What's the purpose of the rubber- as a vibration dampener?

In June of 2011 I gave up on my 49 Plymouth and traded it off for a Streetrod. Well the car has been sitting unused and I am in the final throws of buying it back. Its now a personal thing. The problem with the 49 is that it would run 49 consecutive miles but never 50. On the third such occasion it happened to be in the 90's with Florida humidity in the 90's as well and we broke down in an area with no shade. My wife said three strikes and your out so I made the deal. My question is about my coil. You will see in the attached photo the coil is on top of the inner fender well under an aluminum cover. It is HORIZONTAL. I have been told that oil filled coils must be vertical or the heat will cause the coil to break down. I am also suspicious of the wire gauge used from Ignition to Coil and it may be smaller then #10 which Tom calls for. Anyhow we are back and really want to get Magoo into reliable mode. Hope everyone is well, Howard
