Where can I get a 62' clutch Z bar for my 409. Just can't seem to locate one

Have the airport here. Will give it a try. Thanks!

Thanks Bob, but no thanks. I'm a Virginian(Richmond). My wife is from Texas. Do not want any more snow or cold temps-had it for 40 yrs. Thanks for the invite anyway!

Don, be advised that the distributor is, in fact, the original with oil spout. I am really trying to keep this guy as original as possible. It's unrestored and in really incredible condition. If I can just get the driving temps down, I'll be happy. Getting this 3:36 rear in to replace the 4:11...

Oops. Keith, when I bought the car, the fan shroud, fan, clutch, etc. was as it was when it left the GM plant. Not so now.

O.K. fellows. Really appreciate the input from all. Car is now back in the shop for a new set of springs, a new 3:36 posi carrier, and a new heater core. Carmine, I installed a new Autometer temp gauge. Have done infrared tests that produce results of minus 7 degrees from the gauge reading. Don...

O.K., at this time, using a Griffin dual fan alum. rad. Using stock pulleys. Timing has been bumped up to 16 over the initial 12. Using the OEM Carters that have been rebuilt. Water pump is new from Show Cars(their # 7148, GM # 3755797). Have used the OEM rad w/stock shroud in the beginning to...

Will get back with you folks

Am at wits end. Have a 62 W block QB that has been bored to .060. One cylinder has been sleeved and only honed to maintain correct tolerances. This beast will not run at temperatures under 200-220. I live in south Texas where the temps. in summer easily approach 100-110 degrees. This motor has...

Have 180. Will keep it. Thanks!

Relative new member. Could someone please help me with respect to getting a 160 degree stat for my 62 409. Need brand name and a source. Thanks gooser du@umstx.net

Appreciate a brand and source and the correct degree for a 62 409 stat. Thanks

Thanks a lot. Nearest water to me is Amistead Reservoir down on the border. Getting the beast back next week after a six month minor resto. Think I'll begin with a blend of Shell pump Nitro & 100LL Avgas plus Joe Gibbs carb defender. She's been fired up, roars like a lion and feels really good...

Thanks!

W head- what fuel do you use?
