Chris, Denis had a post on the battery detail...But yes, looks like a Marelli Magneti battery. https://pantera.infopop.cc/top...773#1598208421063773 See the April 25th post from https://pantera.infopop.cc/top...ment-photos-to-share , I think the boots on 8ma1074 are original. I cheated and used the clamp from a Dodge Dart...
Piping from the fuel pump to the carb is in the Vintage Engine photos thread, April 10 and April 15, 2013. 2 sections of copper pipe were used, the first wraps around the fuel pump and goes up, joining thru a rubber hose across the manifold. A lot of people look at this and think vapor lock...but that's the way it was..! Pictures are from 8ma1046, 8ma1074, and 8ma1076 and almost agree, 8ma1046 seems to have swapped that curl-of-copper with rubber hose. Note also on this picture, there really was a Ford j-code sticker on the valve cover..!
At least the right solenoid for your car would have been a Lucas 4ST. Visually stripping away the added fuel pump from 8ma1074, I think the view of the wiring and clamps there are probably exactly right on....
