Looking for correct clutch return spring 1965 Bel Air. Runs from Z bar to firewall. I found one place that looks like it is correct, but sold out.

No, I think you are thinking of Canal Fulton? Canal Winchester is SE of Columbus.

As a kid growing up in 60's I remember some older guy's refer to a 348 as a "Hog Block". It may have been a local thing, I don't know? Anyway I got to ride in one with duals. Road side stand while on family vacation one year, my guess 61 or 62?

I am trying to remember the background requirements for standard factory tach. As in a 1963 Impala SS with V8, seems if it was over 300hp and manual transmission it came standard? If lower hp or automatic it was a option.

Here is my situation, I have stock deck and head heights (no milling) along with stock head gasket, I did have screw in studs and guides installed when machine shop did valve job. Even with my adjuster nut bottomed out the valve is...

I am trying to remember, I bought a tool to gauge push rod length and it was something longer than they had a listing for? Also just looking at how far the lifter drops into lifter bore scares me. To much of the lifter is below the bore and oil hole is way off.

Back in 2002 I was putting together a street/strip 327 engine. Long story short, another project came up and 327 went on hold. Now retired I thought I would get back to it. Back then I went through the Jeg's catalog and picked out what was termed a Saturday Night Special. upon assembling the...
