Yes, Torrance is a suburb of LA. Alison’s car previously was owned by Norm Silverman (AKA “Watchfatha”) and was a very nice driving car - I drove it. I believe Alison converted it to an Edlebrock carburetor to cure some problem with the AFB – I hope you got the original carburetor with the car. There’s nothing wrong with the Edlebrock conversion, but you might want to put the car back to original someday. There was a problem getting the air cleaner to fit, so I think the car had an aftermarket (ugh) air cleaner on it.

Bob ! Sorry to take so long to get back to your query. I had to get hold of the person that I bought the car from, here in NZ. He tells me that the owner was Alison Ikeler from Torrance CA. Is that near Los Angeles ? excuse my ignorance. It is certainly amazing how small the world is, or how powerful the internet is.
All the Imperial best. Peter H
