Glad it was helpful! I think it’s definitely worth the effort although you need to make sure you have the correct spark plug wires. From when I told it is a problem to use the originals.
I donno... but when I worked on Helicopters in the army, we used bolts like that . The holes were used for safety wires. They held the bolts in place. We ran the wire through the holes twisted the wire ,then tied it to another bolt or fix point. So maybe they are just good quality aircraft bolts. Yep. Trying to stay neutral and objective when troubleshooting is very difficult. My memory was Ford points weren't too hard to do but I never did a 46 or Pertronix either.
The struggles of old cars, drop out the fuel tank and clean out any debris in it. Blow out the fuel lines front to back and back to front. Check the fuel pump diaphragm for cracks and leaks .
Well, the tank was recently replaced. It was done by the previous owner. I cleaned it all out. I replaced all the fuel lines, previous owner, installed a new fuel pump. I did pull it apart and check everything. Also went totally through the carburetor and installed it. What I think at this point is the fuel pick up tube inside the tank either has a hole in it, or has fallen off. My plan at the moment is to move the fuel line to the bottom of the tank and attach it to the drain valve and see what I get.
I dont think the bolts that hold the distributor to the block are original to your car. My 48 Super Delux is box stock original and doesnt have bolts with holes anywhere. A Pertronix conversion is a great idea. This car is coming along nicely.
DAMM I KNOW THE FEELIN OF CHASING MY TAIL FOR DAYS TO IT ONLY BEING THE SMALLEST OR THE LAST THING I CHECK...THE OLD SCHOOLS ARE GONNA BE THE LIFE OF US OR THE DEATH LOL...
