Some photos of the engine bay, or what remains of it. There is enough bits to make it possible to getting it going.
I pulled the distributor out and was prepared for it to be some exotic Chevrolet, General Motors rare as hens teeth item. When I checked the numbers on google I found it was a good old 1948-215 to 1956 FJ General Motors Holden grey motor distributor. While they are not plentiful anymore there are a few on ebay and condenser and points are available. The same distributor with a different suffix was used up until 1963 by Holden.
The plan is to set up two 12 volt car batteries in the right hand battery box for the starter and set up one 12 volt battery in the left hand battery box for the ignition. All this is very temporary just to get it going, if it starts and runs then I will look at doing something more permanent.
