Default '51 Pontiac with 4.8L/4L60E, spring dust off

Hitched the wagon up to our trailer this morning to take some photos for a guy doing a wagon coffee table book. For the photos I finally painted the engine cover, it's pretty cool I think and kinda hides the rather ugly intake and coil packs. The car is a RIOT to drive, and the little 4.8 does a surprising job towing, as long I can keep the RPM's up.

Thanks to help from here with my new project, the 6.0 in the Diamond T pickup, I've got enough wiring info to sort out the problems in the wagon, specifically the fuel guage not working. Cruise doesn't work either, nor the "Tow/Haul", feature, but I'm pretty sure I can get the fuel gauge functioning now.

Thanks. Yeah, I have some. The engine bay is so full, it's kinda hard to see the engine tho!
