Thanks for the replies everyone!  Crosbyman that is a fine looking motor.  Was the paint in that good of condition when you purchased it?

I am going to purchase those parts from Steve and appreciate being able to locate the parts so I will have a complete engine.  1955 must have been a transition year as usually there is a lot of parts overlap.

My coils should be in this week so hopefully I can barrel test it by starting it with the  rope and the flywheel method this weekend.

I do have one more quick question, looking at the parts diagram it appears the top crankcase seal is a carbon seal with an o ring.  If that is leaking is the only way to replace the o ring by splitting the case or can that seal be worked up the crank?

 

Thanks,

Jeff
