'63 Valiant Newbie

Score! Great wagon. Yes, it's an iron 225—a 1963 engine, by the stampings, so likely the car's original motor. Those chrome V-wingnut things are an aftermarket accessory to distort the valve cover so it no longer seals well.

Tune-up parts and technique suggestions are in this post. Carburetor operation and repair manuals and links to training movies and carb repair/modification threads are posted here for free download. Might want to do the fuel line mod and the HEI upgrade. More generally, take a look at this thread.
Thanks for the tips, Dan! I've got some reading to do, obvs.

And for those who asked for more pix - hereyago!
