Are you sure this was DeLo ap? Doesn't look like air cleaner would clear louvers, much less engine cover. Nevertheless makes a traditional man's heart swoon... Here's the kicker: with something like that you'd gap the plugs, throw a set of wires/cap/rotor on (note how accessible distributor is without upper air assembly in the way), change the oil, then drive. That's it. As long as carb is jetted correctly, can't go wrong. What would an owner do with all the extra time now available?
