I have done corners in 3rd and ease on the gas as I straighten out. Doesn't seem to lug.

My engine has not been apart after early 1958. I doesn't do over 40mph and has trouble with hills in 3rd. She fires right up on cold start up, idles smooth but leaks quite a bit of oil after a run.

This winter I get to pull it and check all the internals and see what has or has not been done before 1958.
I'll take a compression test before tear down.
