I'm about finished up with wiring. I have converted to 12Volts and an alternator. Since I am starting from scratch with wiring I followed the basic Morgan plan and modified it to my needs. I added a fuse box and a ground bus. I used cloth covered wires and found some cloth tape to wrap the wires into a loom.
The Begining This car was bought, some years ago, from Gullwing Motors in New York. It was an older restoration at that time, as far as I can ascertain. The car was found in a barn in north Florida ten or more years ago and went through two avid Morgan owners, being dismantled by the second one and then passed on to me. Much work had been done including a new chassis as well as quite a collection of new parts. Here is what I bought.

GOOD NEWS maybe
It's all back together. I found nothing wrong inside the engine. All dimensions are within spec, on the tight side. The cam journals are the only thing that is at max spec.
Oil pressure is still 5# at idle when hot and 20-25# at 35 MPH. Not great but... A friend that races one of these has the same oil pressure and his car runs great so I'll just drive it and see what it does long term.
Next is to finish up the wiring and get the car registered. More on that later.
