Thanks for the reply. I'm currently on vacation for two weeks so I'll make a list after I get back home.
Telriv, PM me a list of parts and prices if its not too much trouble.
I have a 401 with factory 2-4's that I rebuilt a while back and I have been searching for something to put it in. I was planning a trip to visit my kids last week so I browsed CL to see is there...
could be worn out brushes or a burnt contactor disc in the solenoid. The solenoid is pretty easy to take apart then the disc can be cleaned up with a wire wheel on a grinder along with the contact...
I have the instrument cluster out of my 62 Electra and am replacing all the dash lights. the ears that hold the plastic light sockets are breaking off of almost everyone I remove no matter how...
Me and the wife took a little road trip the other day to check out a '62 Electra. Saw in in CL and it sounded like a solid car for the money. All original down to the worn out seats. Runs and drives...
Thanks for looking.
While your in the Hollanders, see what fan shrouds will fit a 1962 Electra.
Don't make the 2x4 intake with such a low profile that it wont clear a finned valley cover. Stock intakes have to be used with the sheet metal valley cover or the fins have to be ground off some in...
How about a nailhead in a chevy. Here's a pic of one setting in my '50 sedan delivery.

I picked up a factory 2x4 setup for my 401 the other day along with the orginal Super Wildcat air cleaner. I'm having a hard time finding the unusual air filter for it. Anyone know of a source for...
Like BigRivi said, carb base needs to be level. When I installed the 401 in my 50 chevy I put a level on the carb flange on the intake manifold to get it right. Turn the level crossways and level it...
Then your good to go. No external regulator needed.
Look at the two terminals on the alternator where the small wires plug in. If there parallel to each other like this = it takes an external regulator. If their in line with each other like this -- it...
Center to center on the intake bolt holes on a 401/425 are 9-1/8". I just measured my 401 and came up with this. Smaller engines are like 8 or 8-1/2". Cant say for sure cause I dont have a smaller...
On the larger core plugs in the block, I take a large punch and knock one side into the block. I then grab the side sticking out with a pair of channel lock plyers and pry it right out. On the...
Well it looks like the engine in the 64 Riviera has been changed. It has MT stamped on the block which makes it a 66 401.
I went out to see if I could find the letters stamped on the front of the 64 block but due to a freak ice storm here and 1/2" of ice on everything I guess I'll wait a day or two to satisfy my...
I just registered and though I'd say hi. Bought a 65 Wildcat just for the nailhead and SP400 a few months ago. 4 dr car was a total rust bucket. Odd for west texas. Must have come from somewhere...
