Accelerator Return Spring
Accelerator Return Spring
The accelerator return spring should
be attached to a small clip which is
mounted to the center valve cover
bolt. The 1956 Shop Manual shows
this clip mounted to the center valve
cover bolt on the driver's side.
A similar clip attaches to the bell-crank-to-carburetor rod. This second clip can be moved up or
down the rod to increase or decrease the spring tension as desired.

Battery Box
The battery box is mounted on a flat spot of the inner fender
apron on the driver side. The box is secured by two bolts
that run through the box and apron and a nut attached from
underneath, inside the wheel well..
There is a bracket that mounts on the firewall and attaches
to the vertical edge of the box, at the corner to give extra
support.
