Dirty engine bay

The past 35 years have not been too bad to the car.

You can see the Jacobs electronic ignition on the fender wall. Not sure if I will end up using it. I plan to start with plain old points and then test it out.

The dizzy on the original engine had been recurved. I plan on using it for the new engine.

One little cosmetic thing I will do is to paint the grille support area in flat black. this makes the grille “float” in the opening.
