Welcome to the club Luke, where do you live?

I had many problems like this when I picked up my 74 years ago. I replaced Spark plugs, wires, cap rotor and still had problems. I ended up finding out that the carb was never rebuilt. It was not used to todays unleaded fuel. I had the carb rebuilt by a professional company and the problems went...

I don't have them yet either but when I do I will install Steel Shields over them to stop burning legs.

I ONLY buy Shell V-Power gas for every carb I own. No exceptions. There was one year I had 5 motors out of commission at the cottage because of ethanol. The lake mechanic didn't ask me, he told me I was bringing in my own gas instead of using the stations on the lake because of the mess I had...

I'm in the same boat as you. Would love to upgrade the headlights. Already did the dash and love it. Anyone out there?

On my 74 , there is no ventilation, they are fake on the rear deck of the car. I also did not see any line inside the car near the console and I had it completely apart.
