2manyT/A's this is a Norwood car. It has Silver Seal worm gears on all 4 heater hose connections. The radiator hoses of course are tower clamps on all 4, with the upper radiator clamp clocked at 2pm (if you facing the car).
Here's a pic of the rust, I mean brake booster and bracket. The red smear on the booster is a paint daub I think, but it's not your typical enamel, it's more of a stain so to speak. There is also a very small blue paint daub barely visible in one picture. The paper sticker on the wiring harness to the proportioner is a W.
The carb picture is great. The part number on the vacuum bracket, and the inspecton mark 'N' and ' - ' on the butterfly is unbelievable considering fuel and fumes pass this way.
Roysgoats, the stripes are different thicknesses. The black is approximately .25" and the red is .13". I'd be curious to know what thickness the Phoenix Graphix stripes are?
Quicksilver, that's a great question about the pace cars. I thought they would have been geared high for the track? Hopefully someone will chime in.
'Restoring' this car will be a lot of work. I'm going to be refreshing all of the parts, but without repainting, replating or replacing. It should look the same when done just neat and tidy. It's tedious and meticulous work as I'm already finding out, but very rewarding.
