I found my pertronix distributor to be too tall. If I use my older distributor with the pertronix ignitor kit the holley fits like your saying, very close. May have to go back to this distributor. I think I'll call carl mcquillan tomorrow before I put that distributor in. After all it's only one...

Hey guys I have a question on this Mcquillan intake. I just purchased a new set of 4150 Holleys. I set the rear carb up on the intake and immediately ran into a problem. The secondary throttle shaft hits the distributor cap in my application. I didnt have any carb spacers so I used some threaded...

I have a question????? do the oil pans on the 409s match the bolt pattern of standard big blocks? or are there any limiting factors to them?

That's great! I have one that is twisted in half but that was a stock makeshift shaft. He said it was from the car. This one was a little more heavy duty compared to that.

I have a few trophies driveshafts from when he was in his racing days! I had to laugh when I had to walk down the road to get it

Tail shaft housing on the 700r4

It dented up the floor a little and busted the tailshaft off the transmission. Lucky me I have spare trans parts

Well I took the old car out for some test run a this past Saturday. Turns out the drive shaft, yokes, and u-joints can't keep up lol. :roll

Called Carl on Monday and showed up Thursday! Can't wait to get it on the engine. Looks great and came with everything to put it on! Great product and great people would recommend buying one!

Built a full adjustable carb and throttle linkage bars last night

That's ok Lonnie. It's a shame that happened so fast. The fastback is kind of rough. Needs quarter fenders and floors. New interior. The 64 convertible is in decent shape it sat on a concrete pad most of its life. There is a 65 gasser style fastback that's in decent shape also. It also has sat...

I almost went up there this past year for a show. Not sure why. But I'd like to go. I hear the turn out is pretty nice. I haven't done anything with the fastbacks. I have plans in the works for the 64 convertable. Mom wants that one to drive and cruise. Ellen went and got married and lives in...

Thanks! I'm finishing some exhaust work now. Should breath much easier. 1 7/8 exhaust tubing to 2 1/2. The engine enables blew the muffler seams apart :laugh you could watch the small mufflers breath.

I'll be at Gateway around 5. The car will be on an open trailer

I added these too. Kind of anice early shot before it was done but the idea is there.
