The 46 is getting a new gas tank. Waiting on a ferrule and fitting. The old one looked good from the outside but was full of rust and crud. Little trip thru the weeds on the 48 business coupe and a no start condition. Ended up needing a starter (Chinese one crapped out), replaced with a NAPA rebuilt. Replaced spark plugs and wires on the 59AB. Running but acting like it was starving for fuel under load. Tried running from a can and no difference. Switched carburetors and fuel line to pump. No improvement. Reloaded the parts cannon and changed the coil as my wife suggested. Runs great now. I hate when she's right about a car!
