    322 engine

    If Illinois isn't too far for you, I have a running 322 from a 1956 Century with a rebuild Dynaflow transmission. The engine had the drivers side dual exhaust manifold. Send me a message if you are...

    Wolfgang,
    There should be two studs sticking out of the block where the cover mounts. The studs allow the cover to stand off from the block a little. It is hard to see if you have them in the...

    Perry,
    I think you need to pop the pin out of the end of the shaft and the gear will slide off. Then the shaft will pullout of the housing. Should let you finish things up then.

    push to start

    I am using a Rochester 4G off a 1960 Buick 401 motor. It has the switch in the carb for the push to start feature. I think 1960 was the last year for that but it might have been 1961. I am using it...

    I have one that came from a 2 barrel carb, I think. The dashpot would actually be a little closer to the carb than the one I have mounted on the motor. If you think you can use the black...

    Jeff,
    There are three bolts on the flywheel that are 120 degrees apart that need to be taken off. You can access them from the access plate on the transmission. You will have to be able to rotate...
