Attempted to match the blue-green paint on the heater housing, but failed miserably. Decided to go with the “standard” Rustoleum Hammered Bronze. Took a trailer tongue jack that had given up and turned it into an engine hoist leveler. It mounts on the engine using the two valve cover studs. Hoisted the engine off the stand and installed the bell housing, flywheel and clutch. Cleaned and painted rear engine mounts. Rebuilt the generator and starter. Discovered that the generator was a Western Auto rebuild as it had “WIZARD” stamped on the housing. It got new bearings and brushes and a test run as a motor to check it out. The starter got the same treatment and a coat of paint.
