As in my previous post, I really enjoy the initial sorting of a car when you first get it. It’s the best part, I think, as you often get things working properly by just putting things back to where they should be. I’m sort of longing for a project these days, but I can’t get motivated to do it

It’s especially satisfying (to me, at least) to get everything back to original so you know its right. Call me a purist, but there’s some logic behind that mindset when it comes to things like engines and other systems. You really can’t second guess the guys and gals who designed these things.

Looks like someone savaged the vacuum lines. A couple of the vacuum/temperature switches are obviously toast, but can be replaced easily. In #30 there’s some sort of a vacuum/electrical device I can’t identify, but it’s clearly disconnected but may be functional. What I’ve found on a lot of car
