It's (supposedly) a free country and we can mount our fuel tank wherever we like.
Under the hood I've been tightening loose bolts.
The PO said he had a local shop replace the camshaft.
The engine run strong and sounds good (dual exhaust).
There were some oil leaks: valve covers (bolts way loose) intake manifold center bolts on both sides (no pipe dope on threads).
It has a Holley carb with manual choke but no choke cable.
Got one from summit.
Today I plan to install the new exhaust donuts and install the choke cable.
I have to get back to the 58. still have a lot welding to do on the chassis.
