Re: The Duchess Project: 1940 Super 8 Convertible Sedan

Thanks, Howard. I will go back to an earlier post when I was working on the starter to see how it is non-standard for 1940, but I did use a new 1940 harness. John did a super job when he rebuilt the engine and all connections are tight, but I'll double check them. Sometimes the wire comes a little loose from the connector proper. Everything looks secure at the post, until you wiggle the wire.

A replacement button arrived from the flackmaster, which I put in the gove box. I have had no problem starting the car since the incident last Friday.

Now I have this timing issue. After my chores, I'll warm her up and do a video. But I'd never seen a discussion of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide levels discussed here.
