Nice looking Intake horn. Is that a THD unit, or something else?
I personally prefer the factory air box which pulls cool air from outside the engine bay over the slide on cone filter options, that are pulling the hottest air in the engine bay from next to that hot exhaust manifold.

Thrift store score...
Was near the thrift store today so as always had to run in and see what treasures they might have. Well today was a very good day...
Millers Falls Tools 3/8 electric drill, model 414. Works fine except the trigger is stuck on. Paid $15 Cdn for it!
Now I have not been able to find info on the exact year of manufacture for this drill but did come across a listing for a model 515 and 515C and they were produced around 1928/29/30. I also found a scanned copy of the Millers Falls Tools catalog from 1925 and it does not show any electric drills, so I assume it must have been produced some time between 1926/27?

1925-1955 it seems. Originally was a ¼" drill, so I'd venture to guess more likely 1930 era at the earliest.

Zip tied the fuse block to the panel it's supposed to be clipped into. Got the headlights working with the new switch. Put the new chrome made in Taiwan headlight bezels. Replaced the front parking/turn signal assemblies with new Taiwan units. I need to go back in and clean them up and hit them with some dielectric grease. Somewhere I have a new tube that I have misplaced. Got some ball end hex keys, and some Torx sockets. Prepping for the governor spring/fuel pin swap. Not doing it until the starvation problem is resolved.
