1958 Super 88 Convertible says Hello!

I joined the group to get some help on restoring my 58 Super 88. Its a nice original car that will get refreshed over the next few years. Specifically, I need some help with the J2 set-up. Any info would be appreciated. I guess I'll start by searching the archieves . Picture of the correct set-up would be great.
Thanks,
Joe Ventura

Thanks, I'll post some pictures when I get a chance. The car is an original black with a red interior. Black really makes all that chrome stand out.

Love the 58's,they are the king of chrome. What are your issues with the J-2 setup I might be able to help although it's a little new for me. Picks would be nice...Tedd

I'm trying to get a good picture of the fuel line and vacuum line routing. I also need to know what are the differences in 58 vs 57 air cleaner for the J2 set up. I'm not a fan of the little triple set of chrome filters everyone adapts, or at least it seems that way.

Welcome to CO! Love them '58 Chromemobile's!!! I remember when those came out, could not miss them coming down the street. Again, Welcome! A friend of mine, Mike Payton, may be able to help you out w/the J2 set-up. I'll send a PM w/his email address.
