I went up to the museum Sat Nov 10. I took a battery and a rebuilt carburetor for the Ford engine. The first thing that I wanted to see was if the battery would turn over the engine. It did crank over so I installed the carburetor. I didn’t know the condition of the gas tank and fuel pump so I hooked up a temporary gas tank which was gravity flow to the carb. Next I checked for spark. I disconnected the high tension wire from the coil and held it against the valve cover while I cranked it over. There was no spark. I took the distributer cover off and sanded the points. After a couple tries I had spark. I poured some gas in the carburetor and cranked it over. I ran about 10 seconds and then stopped. I had to do that a couple times to get gas in different parts of the carb. After that it ran pretty well. Sunday Nov. 11 was a beautiful day with a high in the upper 60’s. I went to the store and got a gallon of Safety Yellow paint, a brush and a roller. I used an angle grinder with a wire wheel to knock off the rust blisters. I brushed and rolled the paint on the sheet metal. Monday Chas and I took a lot of heavy metal out of the car. Things that looked like RR parts we put in the freight house.
