Cut out the battery tray and stand today. Someone previously put in a new tray and stand but did not repair the rust down below. I've got new sheet metal on the way from restoration design. Say what you want about HF tools...I've been using this harbor freight grinder for about 6 years now.

Cut out the sheet metal. I was using a cutting wheel at the beginning, half way through I discovered the high speed cutter at Harbor Freight which is much faster for making long cuts.

I also discovered there are 2 layers of sheet metal under the battery.

Since I was taking forever, I took this to a master welder who's forgotten more than I know.

The machining is required to use the 911 elephant foot adjusters and 2.0 rockers can't be use with the 911 elephant feet adjusters. Stock 1.7 rockers and adjusters bolt right on. The elephant feet adjusters are easier on the valve tips and don't wear like the stock 1.7 or 2.0 adjusters. Jim |

It's not that 2.0 rockers don't need machining--the holes are the wrong diameter, so the 911 lugs don't fit at all!!

Yes the 911 lug fits into the 1.7 rocker it does not fit the 2.0 rocker.

Battery stand, tray and everything underneath fixed. The tray is removable, I am going to use nicer looking hardware eventually.

First off, I don't think the color is Malaga red. You have more of a guards red. see my attachment...
The carb issue is one that the 40's are a bit small and the 44's are a bit large for a 2056. What we need is a 42 that they don't make. The 40's and 44's will work great with the right set up. The cam grind matters as the mech.advance dizzy. welcome back, you are on the right track. don't spend money unless you need too. Triaddave 360 280-6855 Attached thumbnail(s)

Here's are photos of the finished engine bay, it's repainted with the Malaga Red specs that I gave to the paint shop. The car is running great.
