Re: S.O. Tag on a 1954 car

Not sure I’ll find out during the next week. Thanks for turning the images. M

A bud emailed me that it's likely a Sun Ignition box for a electronic tach.

Mark,

2nd request for good photos of inner fenders and firewall - to see if there are any visible modifications.

It looks a lot like my Sun sending unit turned upside down and installed in early sixties on my 57. Steve

Sorry they all post sidewise. I need to figure out how to turn them 90 degrees

Mark, if on phone camera make sure auto-rotate is off. But you're not alone. Our image loading expects a certain aspect ratio. It'll sometimes get them wrong anyway as the vBulletin s/w we use has some deficiencies.

Lots of/too much info here....

Microsoft Picture Viewer s/w fixes them, by saving orientation(Exif) data. When I see this, I simply view in MS Viewer, rotate wrong, save, reload, reorient to proper orientation, then save.

Then upload here.

Rich
P.S. I'll try to reorient them for you later.

Mark,

Attached are photos of a '53 early body modified for V/8. There was no S.O. tag or VIN plate on the body.

Question - take photos of the gas filler opening and door closed.

Here are some photos of the gas door.

And here are the photos of the gas door opened. I wish someone had the GM document that recorded the Shop Orders. That would solve this mystery.
