Here are a couple of pics of the engine bay back together:
We took it out on a shakedown run last night (before it started snowing), and I tweaked the mixture settings a couple of times because I was getting a bog on acceleration from 1st to 2nd gear.
Also, I suddenly discovered that the parking brake handle ratchet was not locking into place. Once I got back home, I looked up under the dash to find the spring that kept the pawl engaged in the handle ratchet had broken. It lasted 87 years, so I can't complain too much.
I adapted a replacement spring from a box of assorted modern springs I had.
