 Thank you Red for the info.  The PO, somewhere in the distant past, installed a big chrome push button to the left of the column for the horns, now converted to air.  He also drilled two holes in the panel to the right of the column for a spring return bat handle switch for the washer.  Since my ignition switch does not engage the starter I put an identical switch in the left hand hole so I can start by flipping it up, assuming my ignition switch is actually at fault.  At least all holes are filled!

Right now I have got the fuel system working, the stuck rear carb needle unstuck and the cam timing issue fixed.  Next thing to arrange is to have the fire department on standby for the first start.  Maybe also the bomb squad?

Bringing these old gals back to life sure is rewarding, if not frustrating at times.  My three Model Ts were much easier to get going.

My deadline for a road test is before April 29 for a local British Car show.
