I had ordered a new air filter for the Weber DCOE carburetor. The one I had in stock did not have proper clearance between the filter and inner fender. The new filter is dome shaped rather than rectangular, consequently, there is additional clearance.
You will also notice the installation of the breather hose between the air filter base and the crankcase breather on the side of the engine block.
I also purchased an electric fan for the cooling system and I am in the process of mounting it in front of the radiator. The installation kit consisted of plastic pins that actually pass through the fins of the radiator. I decided to do it my way. Don fabricated two brackets that will connect the fan to the radiator support. The fan housing base will also be fastened to the body creating a more secure installation. Photos will follow on my next post.
The archive listing of this blog contains detailed step-by-step photos and narratives regarding this restoration since it began late last December. Please direct any comments and questions to tommystoplesscars@yahoo.com.
