The only important remaining work is to make sure fuel tank debri, if any, doesn't get into the carbs. I put an inline fuel filter in front of the fuel pump (which has the screen) to see what might be flowing. The A arm bushings appear tight with only slight play in the steering bushing. It wouldn't take grease so I bought a rebuild kit. I need to replace the air filters if someone can recommend a suitable replacement. I am a little concerned about how to break in the new rings/pistons properly...all suggestions appreciated. The car handled well enough at slow speed but replacing the shocks anyway probably would be wise. Everything I touched was just cleaned or wiped down and not resprayed to preserve its "as found" integrety. In my short few stints in the car, my height and a tight fit may call for a short honeymoon. If anyone knows of a later, long foot box model for trade or sale, please let me know.
Jay, since I know what's in your Ace, the race would only be fair if you called leaving your house to give me a headstart. On the other hand, as an old vintage racer maybe.......
