I have the Marvel-Schebler Carburetor it came with still installed... other than that it's a thorough bred. I bought a Zenith carb, but I've never bothered to actually put it together and get it on the car. Everything I read on here says the Marvel is really better anyways, other than the availability of parts. It came with a new coil installed, but that turned out to be garbage so I went back to the ancient coil the previous owner threw in as a spare. It's got cast iron drums & rebuilt backing plates, those are MUCH better than what it came with. Since this picture was taken I've also switched to the 3X plugs, I like those a lot more than the pictured ones. I do understand the appeal of a Mitchell OD & a moderately higher compression head though!

It is only those modifications that allow me to enjoy my car the way I want. A standard motor would not have a hope. There was a bog standard motor in the same car when I got it. The best I did with that motor was about 450 miles in the day but a solo car - no towing. I can only say again, "The cars will do it if we let them".
