WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR WE DID A COMPRESSION CHECK AND THE # 1 INTAKE VALVE WAS LEAKING. WE OWN A RESTAURANT IN PALM SPRINGS AND I WAS TALKING TO ONE OF MY CUSTOMERS AT THE BAR AND TOLD HIM ABOUT THE VALVE. HE TOLD ME HE WAS RAISED ON A FARM AND THEY USED THESE FLATHEAD SPITFIRE 6 CYLINDER MOTORS ON ALOT OF THE FARM EQUIPMENT. HE TOLD ME TO ORDER THE VALVE AND I PULLED THE HEAD AND THE VALVE COVER AND HE REPLACED THE BURNT VALVE. WE PUT IT ALL BACK TOGETHER AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP. PRIOR TO THAT I HAD THE RADIATOR RECORD. I REPLACED THE WATER PUMP AND THE BELT. I ALSO REMOVED THE FUEL TANK AND HAD IT BOILED OUT. I INSTALLED A NEW FUEL PUMP. I HAD A LOCAL SHOP REPLACE THE SHOCKS AND THE BREAKS. I REPLACED THE MOTOR MOUNTS. ALL THE BASIC THINGS TO GET THE CAR RUNNUNIG AFTER SITTING FOR 35 YEARS WERE DONE. THE CAR IS REGISTERD AND INSURED AND I DROVE IT YESTERDAY. IT RUNS GREAT.
