1955 Chevy taillights
Ok.. the more and more I look at them, I keep thinking how cool it would be to put 1955 Chevy taillights in my '51 Chevy.. problem I seek is, I'll need 2 peices cut out that surround the taillights of a '55 Chevy, so I can cut that part off of my car and graft the entire light assembly and surrounding metal right onto my car, and make it simple.. the chrome surrounds on my current '51 lights were primed and ruined by the previous owner so they need replaced anyway ( $86 for repops )... I could smooth out the tail panal by removing the original back up lights because there intergrated into the taillights on the '55's. what do you all think? anybody got a source for the needed body parts?You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
