Thanks Paul-was exactly the advice I was looking for-and I ordered as you suggested-thanks again

I've got a 62 Biscayne-4 speed-need to replace the carpet. I've searched around and I cna't tell whose good, who's bad, fast or slow. Any tip on a good trustworthy vendor-looking for a loop type carpet-thanks in advance!

I miss wrote, I don't really want Stainless, aluminized it fine. 2 1/2" if perfect. Any suggestions on a supplier?

If I put headers on won't I have to install a mini-started as well? was trying to avoid that. I don't need cut-outs its just the 4 year old in me. Use to clip playing cards on my bike so they would hit the spokes and make noise-same thing for me I think.

need an exhaust system for my 59' El Camino 348. I have some Doug headers off another car but thinking I use the stock manifolds as it pretty original car. Need advice on where to get a complete system, but I want some throaty exhaust, maybe a set of cut outs-but I am confused as to mufflers...

IM PUTTING A NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM ON MY 59 CAMINO-348 ENGINE. I WANT A HEALTHY SOUNDING CAR. TRYING TO DECIDE IF I SHOULD BY A KIT AND SELECT A MUFFLER OR HAVE A LOCAL EXHAUST SHOP TO THE WORK. ANY ADVICE IS WELCOME. I DO HAVE A SET OF DOUGS HEADERS FROM A PREVIOUS 348 PROJECT BUT ON THE FENCE AS...

I have a 1962 Biscayne with a 409 dual quad car. The Generator that is on it now is stamped "Rebuilt" and has rubber grommets in the mounting holes for a bolt to slip through. My question is what Delco Generator was supplied with the Biscayne in 1962 and did it have the rubber grommet in the...

well I have Edlebrock heads and headers-so will do exactly what you mentioned-thanks much!

No I did not-never gave that a thought-that is an easy fix and I'll do it-can't hurt-thnx

I've got a freshly built 348 that I used Edlebrock 409 heads head on. I used the recommended Edlebrock Head Gaskets which come direct from Edlebrock. On both heads near the 7-5 pistons and 6-8 I've developed small annoying leaks. I took great pains to seal all the bolts and torque the heads to...

Fresh 348, was debating if I should pre-load the block w/ antifreeze install the thermostat, or just install the Stat housing with no stat for now and fill the rad on initial start up. Advice appreciated.

I would assume that if it has compression it has a reasonable chance of rebuild. Chains, bearings I would consider part of a rebuild anyway. I'd always assumed i'd have a hard time finding even a truck block for 2500 was assuming it would take 3500-4000 to get a rebuilder. Guess I wrong?

What value does a truck motor such as the one above have assuming its pretty complete needing an over haul? Assuming it turns can you run one around using a compression tester to gage condition-say by taking out the other plugs? Thanks

threes one notch in each cylinder in this 348 "x" block

yes it is. The first 348 I dropped in a ran froze after a few min run time. Engine shop rebuilt the btm end and I paid for the parts so it ended ok and wasn't a big bill-except the I dropped it in the 2nd time after I primed it-I clocked the Dist and dropped it in. It was only after messing...
