Not that mine is all that correct in all respects but this gives a little better idea of the fuel line and gas filter positioning, and the air deflector for the front automatic choke. The second air deflector blocking the air flow under the intake manifold is not visible in this picture.


Ahhh... Owen: Which 1956 Caribbean is this one with this color in the engine compartment? Unusual. Looks nice. But those red decals on the batwing pots are the wrong type and wrong color. Decals on Let The Ride Decide's pots are accurate and the finish on his batwing like the originals.

By the way, many years ago I knew someone with a 1956 Caribbean who was running a pair of Rochester 4GCs removed from two 1956 Four Hundreds. The car ran, but it had a tendency to load up at idle, go gobby, and occasionally acted like the accelerator pumps were bad when they were not. And wow... did it ever drink the gas!!

Anyway. So very nice to see all of these Caribbean photos!
