I bought this from a member here last week, and rewired and installed today. I love it! ‘51 Land Cruiser.

Nice! Not a fan of the funky air cleaner; yea, I know its the only thing "off the shelf" that will fit a tiny carb, but they garner no respect. Everything else looks great!

I had three singles on my six and, yes, used those but only as long as it took to find three "old school" scoops, that I later replaced with air filter assemblies I made. They were about 7" diameter. Sorry , no pic of the air cleaners I made, but here's one with the scoops. Sold the car, but I still have the engine and trans, I could dig it out and take a pic of the air cleaners if you're interested. I tend to make air cleaners a lot because I can't usually buy what I want , my VWs have custom air cleaner assemblies too (so does my tractor, and several motorcycles ), only smaller; but bigger than that "off the shelf" unit.

That little air cleaner is restrictive. Bigger was better for my car.

I got one of those for my Rockne with a single barrel Stromberg, and it restricted the intake to the point I couldn't set the timing. I would find an original to go with the 2-barrel.

Double post!

Bruce's '51 is also missing the early '51 LEFT hand side Choke Heater Tube, can't see if it has the matching early '51 Left Side Exhaust Manifold.

No, it’s there Rich. I have yet to fire up the 232 after a 2 year restoration, thus the missing choke tube and incorrect air filter. I rebuilt this engine for a friend 20 years ago (😳) and when he restomoded his ‘51 Starlight I was gifted the running gear, which had about 500 miles on the rebuild!
