Sounds like a plan, PB. I should be able to get it running again in the morning.

The other cars are a 1932 Nash 1090 and a Metropolitan  8)

A supercharged locomotive  :D, it was even more crazy without the exhaust... sounded like a boat being started up out of the water  ;D
The wobble is only obvious when drive is selected. That knocking sound was because the door wasn't quite closed, that's how rough it is. That failed starting was just the ignition switch, it needed to be reset by removing the key  ::).

6.9 = running ridiculously well now  :) :)

I installed a full set of spark plugs... NGK BP6ES. Wow!
Firing order was incorrect on #1 and #2. Now it is smoother than the 450 by far.

Isn't it wonderful when things just work - particularly when it's simple and inexpensive.

Great stuff TJ.  The simple things eh! 

BTW, is the Nash fully optioned with gatling guns and violin cases :D  That's one nice looking car. 8)

It is indeed, now I need to replace the heater tap as it is leaking coolant at a reasonable rate.

That's quite amusing, it certainly is of the era.  :D
It's my dad's new project that he had shipped over from the states... all original too, including the paint.
