WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR WE DID A COMPRESSION CHECK AND THE # 1 INTAKE VALVE WAS LEAKING. WE OWN A RESTAURANT IN PALM SPRINGS AND I WAS TALKING TO ONE OF MY CUSTOMERS AT THE BAR AND TOLD HIM ABOUT THE VALVE. HE TOLD ME HE WAS RAISED ON A FARM AND THEY USED THESE FLATHEAD SPITFIRE 6 CYLINDER MOTORS ON ALOT OF THE FARM EQUIPMENT.

I REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND THE BELT. I ALSO REMOVED THE FUEL TANK AND HAD IT BOILED OUT. I INSTALLED A NEW FUEL PUMP. I HAD A LOCAL SHOP REPLACE THE SHOCKS AND THE BREAKS.
