Not much to report. I have not had time to mess with the engine, but it is starting better and running nicely. I still need to tighten the distributor clamp (with Howard's spacer suggestion) and check the timing. Seems like the car is "healing" itself. Running so well that it is tempting me to take it around the block again. Last time I did that, I stalled at a stop sign and it would not fire back up! I had to run home and grab a can of carb cleaner to squirt down the carb throat to start again. Very embarrassing!

Over the last couple of weeks I did manage to rewire the headlights so I can bundle that up. Most of my free time has been directed to removing metal on the '51 in prep for winter.
