I I have factory (# 61+ 62 carbs). Lean serg anywhere after idle till full throttle. Runs great at idle and full throttle. 409+.070, 3.76 crank, stock 690s, 881. Bun 12" of vacuum @ 1000 and 13" at 3000. Any help. Thanks

Got it

1963 machining may not have been that good. I know my machinist put the new guides were put in according to original. The seats didn't move

Can't remember but I think I'm going to go through them and grind the side that interferes. make sure I have clearance all the way up and down. Should be OK. I always drilled my race car heads( small block) but I used offset lifter and rockers( shaft rockers)

If the slots were correct it wouldn't matter the pushrod runs straight up . If I had drilled the holes and used the plates the rocker would be of center on the valve

Don't remember the brand . Flat bar about 1.800 two stud hold down two slots up two down

Holes aren't drilled

Thinking if I just grind the side that binds and let the head guide the other side. I only have a few holes in the heads that are bad

Sorry about that Pushrod guide plates on 690 heads. found that the outer push rod holes make the pushrods bind. It's about .030 to far out,if I cut the plate I'll take about .080 out. I thought you knew what I was thinking, sex Next time I'll read before posting.

Any hints on how to connect these plates that don't fit? I have a tig

Going to look at 409 truck short block 881 intake with wrong carbs 583 heads ( complete) All the tin except the timing cover Every thing has been stored for 20 years Price is $2700 CDN (about $ 2000 US) They are still out ther

A friend of mine dropped off a pair of '56-265 carbs(the two four barrel kind) correct# and perfect shape. He didn't give Val any of his information but told him he would be in touch. Fast forward five years or so my friend went to pick them up.Val had sold them. My friend was pist. Val gave him...

I'll see if I can find the fitting or the hollow stud locally. Thanks for the help. I bought the PVC set up from Show Cars last week $30 and thought that was a good deal. Then USPS and Canadian Postal Service charged me another$32 for freight.
