So, would it be possible to get a measured drawing? A guy could whittle his own on the lathe that wway!

That and some pictures would be helpfull!

I swear it is the best time you will ever have. It was nice to see several Ws!

OK, I wish we had more time to talk Ws. But as you know it was hard enough meeting the folks you KNEW!

BTW, tripowerguy, was that Biscayne your car,silver/gold one? If so, I am impressed!

At least you didnt get beat by a FLATHEAD!!!! Yes, my 348 got taken by a fast blown flathead. My Cheater slicks spun past the 60 foot! Nice meeting you, breif as it may have been. The track was new the day before, I think I had the 6th pass on about each lane. I think we left enough...

One of my customers and freinds has a Cragar 4-71 Blower intake for a 409. From what we have been told it is roughly 1 of 8 or so? Anyone have details or know anything about them?

we also used flywheel shims on a 409 we just dropped in a 62, bought them locally.

I have sold and run dozens of the Pertronix unit w/o any problems. I have one I need to install after I get the new mill sorted out and broken in.

FWIW, as I mentioned in another post, I am running an early block with NO pad by the plugs and later heads with the spark plug cooling. I welded the holes in the head so that the bead stayed UNDER the deck surface then sealed it with JB Weld in case of porosity. I went this route due to the...

Yeah man, if I can offer any help with measurements, feel free to contact me here or on the HAMB. I have the same mill in my touring and can say the only issue might be with stock hood sides, dont know if you are running them or not? Got a pic of how the 283 is mounted in the hole?

Hi Reggie!:)

I agree that fancy tools can make our lives easy. A pal described the same tool to me when I showed him my screws. He keeps a dirty shop so I asked him where it was....................................................he couldnt find the fancy tool! hahahahahahahhaha My car is a little harder...
