Forget about taking it down a muddy road, lol!

Big difference, for the better, in fuel and ignition systems in that timeframe. If I actually get started on one It'll get a Davis or Mallory HEI setup and the carbs will get some serious attention. The engines on both were probably in pretty reasonable shape even with the rough farm work.
