I have a set of Holmes

Happy birthday!

I bought a 1 7/8" kit from show cars abput 10 years ago. Who made those kits?

Had avalible safety equipment but didn't use it, shoulder harnesses. Driving with control problem, sticking throttle. Riding brakes until overheat=brake failure. I hope the mini van occupants are ok. Don't need innocent people/children hurt. Fix problems with a vehicle before driving.

Do you get a later 8.2 posi by mistake?

There was a 63 split window locally that got all the gell coat sanded off and then left outside in raw fiber glass. Later got "saved" with bodywork and a LS swap.

He used to bracket race this car with a dual quad 409. Was called "Repititious"

Get well Joel!!

A lot of the small metal flakes can come from the valve springs. I've expoxied a magnet on the head to catch that. One time caught a valve keeper on one.

3.84 on a 427 crank. Take .100 off the journal, the pin center moves out .050 by offset grinding making .100 more stroke.

Small block rod would give more clearance/less grinding for clearance between rod and block.

Happy Birthday!

I saw they have a bunch listed on ebay.

I received a hood scoop from them last week. Good quality. In the past I've heard they are slow to deliver. I order from an e Bay listing that showed 1 avalible. The listing stated 7-10 days if not in stock. Showing 1 available I though it was in stock. 26 days after ordering it was shipped...

I don't know of any left in my area. The old location is a bank now. I was eating at the local A&W in 1976 when the parts man at the local Pontiac/AMC dealer tracked me down to tell me they had traded in a 1969 W-31 Olds Cutlass. I still have it.
