R;
I began servicing automobiles in 1954, when your car was still new. Over the years I've seen a lot of changes in the industry, most for the good/better etc. But NOT ALL were.
Mark is correct; your engine does look nice (bitchen) with the valve cover, twin carbs & headers.
However; his statement of "so what if the fuel system isn't right" shows his lack of knowlege or just plain 'common sense'. These folks/those with that attitude, have NO business around machinery of ANY kind.
Sometimes you need to protect people from themselves.
Good luck with your car.
