Also works well for fragile side trim pieces

Is it going to be sturdy enough to add an adjustable cam stop of some kind?

Enjoy it while you can, ours is heading toward $6.00 I think. And he might be too stupid to drop it before November.

Cheapest 87 swill here is 5.25 this week. Goes up from there, almost same as diesel.

I notice nobody is selling anything unique.

I was lucky enough to meet and talk with Ed Iskenderian several years ago at Eagle Field. He is an amazing guy with a lot of knowledge about many different subjects, as I found out. He was only 90-something at the time and attracted quite the crowd in the pits. This was a disgusting situation...

They probably gave the thief a credit card and some new clothes.

I'm starting to feel like I need another set of something...

For some reason I think Holmes = original Cal Custom? Could easily be wrong. Showcars used to have some inexpensive imports that were not too bad. I think Moons, Weiands, old Edelbrocks would be my favorites.

Valve covers would be cool, maybe a clone of the M/T BBC covers adapted to a W pattern???

That last one is pretty well thought-out as I see it.

I know it's original and all that, but cast iron fittings (to me) look like somebody robbed their icemaker or something...

You'd think it has to be the shaft??? A regular BBC shaft would be a bit too long...

I think they may be a couple of threads shorter that a BBC? Not sure now, I know that some Chrysler ones work also.

I guess their thinking is that an "endurance" engine should/would be using a less stressful camshaft and thus could use the lighter rockers. I guess such an engine might also be more likely to have stock covers? Who knows? They just didn't want to call it "street" or "street/strip" for some reason.
