Fuel line and rebuilt carburetor

                    The fuel is gravity feed from the gas tank to the carburetor.  Starting under the tank I rebuilt the shut off valve and replaced the fuel line to the glass sediment bowl fuel filter mounted outside the firewall .  The sediment bowl is the original one that cleaned up well and I replaced the gasket and screen.  From the filter to the carburetor is a new fuel line.
                      The carburetor is the original Zenith type.  I completely dismantled and soaked all pieces in carburetor cleaner, then blew out all pieces with air and wire brushed all main cast pieces .
I bought a carburetor rebuild kit from Burts Vintage Ford and carefully reassembled after painting the cast pieces.
