Re: Engine Bay detailing on a '56 dual carb car

Both of the '55 Caribbean pics show a white engine. Was this normal in 55? What is the container holding some yellow liquid that goes in the firewall, driver's side?

As for my car, it is now evident, because of the coil mounting that it was either dealer installed or done by a later owner. Whichever the story, I am glad I have the dual quad setup. I can move the coil myself to the firewall, but asides from the exact location, a question comes to mind: Is it only a hole and then sheetmetal screws to hold the coil base or does it have some kind or soldered fitting in the firewall to receive regular screws?

I will work on making the fuel and vaccumm lines and try to get everything as correct as possible with the exception of the body color inner fenders, which will have to wait a while before it gets done.

Thanks for all the help,
Victor
