Once mounted the carb would not work so I put some petrol down the spark hole a few times and fiddled with the carb and got the engine into life , I still need to adjust it but it seems to run much better than it did on the old original sliding carb I did find a Holly later but they wanted $450.00 for it , and it was for the later cars with the horizontal bolt holes , also it had a round air intake pipe with a thread on it , it must have been an original carb . I told someone at the curved dash stand and they rushed of and purchased it for $400.00 . It is only 2 weeks untill the Brighton run so I had better get it running as well as I can . I purchased two buggy tops , comlete with very tatty canvas , they had all the metal work but I had to dismantle them both in order to take them one the plane home , Still I think that they will live again .
