Nice Ric. That roof shot is killer.
Cuppla things you’ve done that I hadn’t noticed before on cars (probably ‘cos I don’t look hard enough) is the upside down ignition coil and fuel filter between pump and carby.
Keep the pictures coming if you have any - not sure why you can’t load more than one at a time, but there’s a recent thread on posting issues if you want to look.
Cheers,
John

I think the upside down miss Jane coil is standard fitment John. The boot looks like it has been kept nice and dry Ric. Original paint is outstanding.

Re: Ric's 61 Special
Thanks John,
That rear window/venetian blind shot is one of my favourites.
As Clay mentions the coil is standard fit looks like an upside down old fashioned tin beer can.
The leads are original & so is the O ring between plugs 3 & 4.
No spark plug boots on the leads was standard from the factory as well.
I have only had to re fit the coil lead terminal, as it had parted off the lead at the bottom of the coil.
The leads are wire & are a little soft but not gel like as some I have seen.
It still has the original rotor button, but I had to remove the original brown Bosch dizzy cap & replace with a new black Bosch one as the carbon had broken up & she stopped.
I still have the original dizzy cap.
The filter was fitted sometime in the 80's, not much I can do on that. But I have replaced it as it was all crazed & weeping.
It looks even MORE out of place now.
I'd have to get an original old fuel line & maybe hide a filter down stairs somewhere.
Yes Clay,
The boot is just old.
I gave it a really good clean just using Mr Sheen, and that's how she came up.
Even the tape over the shock mount holes is factory spec.
