The carburetor
linkage was in tact except for the butterfly linkage which connects the
carburetors to each other. With the original GM specs, a little sheet
steel and fuel line, I fabricated these in my garage. You can get
repos now but these are so close to original I don't think I will replace
them.
The correct breather configuration for my car (late 54) is a dual pot system. I have a set of the bullet breathers used on the early 54s - I will probably use them - they highlight the side draft carb trio better anyway. |
| The signature
Ignition Shield is missing - otherwise you couldn't see any of the ignition
or side of the engine. The distributor is also incorrect - the 54 uses
a tach drive distributor. Purchase of the ign shield will be budget
driven - I have already purchased a correct distributor.
I replaced the fuel pump with a correct pump which incorporates a vacuum pump - when I installed the original carbs. All fuel and vacuum line were also replaced. |
