Hey y'all, just ran down some of the list in the tech tips tonight. I'm missing the mounting hardware for the generator and the starter. Pulled the valve cover and since the oil cap had been off for lord knows how long there was a mouse nest. Cleaned all that out really good. Springs, push rods and everything don't look bad but I did notice a strange almost breather like line(reference photo 1). Put Marvel down in the cylinders awhile to let that sit and free everything up. Popped the distributor cap and the point, that could use refinishing. My uncle had brought up something along the lines of a new 12v system that looks just like the stock 6v. So I may go that route instead of dealing with the points? What do y'all think? Last but not least I got the stamp off the motor behind the distributor for y'all to check out( reference photo 2). I know someone has brought up the concern of the orange motor being from a 55.1 instead of the original. I did happen to notice on the the side of the valve cover the orange is peeling and there is blue underneath?

Have a great night y'all!
Justin
