That seems easy enough.  Thanks for the info.  Unfortunately, neither of the vehicles run.  Is there a way to get a salvage title changed back to a regular title or is it stuck with that for the duration?

On second look… 64-65 the license plate Light cover is too big to be 63.

I’m going 1963. The steering wheel is 63/64 only and the wipers park to the passenger side. They changed to drivers on the 1964 model. Get it running Bubba!

Kinda pricy but welcome to the 36hp world.

While you are waiting, and since you’re just trying to see how fuckered up that old thing really is and if the pistons still go in and out, get a small gas can, sports bottle or some other trash, rig a rubber fuel line into it, duct tape it to the roof and gravity feed some fuel into the 60 year old pos. You’ll have rods knocking and oil flying in no time!

You will need a carb kit for the little manual choke carburator, it will be pissing all over soon as you put fuel in it and the acc pump will be brittle, better order that now too. The 1200-1600 stuff won’t work and you can’t swap carbs.

Next thing will be finding points and condenser for the ancient dizzy. Fortunately you can swap your spare from a 1600 right in, no problems.

Have fun with it!!

You know it’s 6 volt right?
