20 years after buying a 'project' 1951 Hudson Pacemaker I'm actually resuming the project, in earnest!

Problem is I found a bunch of dirty parts in the boot (trunk) and need help identifying them (some parts might not even be Hudson I have no idea). All correct answers will win fame and fortune* - here is the first item:

*fame and fortune not guaranteed

Those u-bolts are used to secure the u-joints on the driveshaft assembly.

The bellows looks like it may have been off of a Drive Master clutch control unit.

A brief intermission in the quiz!

A few days ago I sold the motor/gearbox over the phone to a chap who lives interstate from me - I told him up front that as far as I know the motor hadn't run for somewhere between 20 and 30 years, probably closer to 30.

So he bought it assuming that he's going to have to get it fully rebuilt. Then I figured no harm seeing if I could get it running - cleaned the points, squirted a little diesel then some oil down the plug holes, freed up the accelerator plunger (?) in the carb and poured 2-stroke fuel into the fuel bowl.

First try it coughed and spluttered, farting a good amount of oil smoke out the exhaust. Then I hooked up a gravity feed petrol supply for the second try ...

P.S. don't watch any other videos on my channel if you are easily offended by Australian colloquialisms!
