I have looked and found nothing. I ended up using strip body caulk or glass stipe caulk like is used to install windshields. I did a retro fit on my wagon and I must say that is a large area to have...

Most likely will find that the carbs are too small. Check out the 625 cfm versions.

There is a small index hole in the flex plate and it needs to be aligned with the small dimple in the crank flange. Not real obvious until you see it the first time. The flex plate will bolt on 6...

I believe those come either Stainless or painted. Which are you looking for?

If you use a column shift the 400 fits fine or if you use the 1967 only console and shifter. Using the earlier 2 speed shifter will cause the transmission to be dropped about 3/4 of an inch or a...

You did you use the passenger side front cylinder as no. 1?
Might check mechanical advance to make sure it is not stock in full advance, disconnect the vacuum advance and see what happens. That 625...

I thought I had a couple of them until I went and looked. What I have is the lighting harness. Apparently the neutral saftety wiring is separate from the lighting harness.

I had a 57 that had the twin turbine or whatever it was called. Needed a valve job, so that I did, and when assembled the trans would not shift. Turned out to be a timing issue, that most likely...

Once you get your new radiator make sure you have the 7 blade fan and the right fan clutch. Best that I have found so far is the fan clutch for an early 80's Estate Wagon with a 455 and then get the...

There are some former nailhead folks in the El Paso and panhandle area of Texas, but the have moved on to later model stuff. My suggestions would be to ship the engine to a known quality builder....

Park It.
There should be no noise from a fresh, correctly assembed nailhead engine.
If it has a new cam, the pushrods might be too short. If the front cam bearing was put in wrong that can cause...

Eric:
My 66 GS has a cross flow radiator. 65GS had a cross flow but all non GS cars were vertical flow. I think that even in 66 some non GS cars were vertical flow.
Is that what you are seeing when...

If there is a screen over the fuel outlet in the tank, that could be plugged up with debry. Sounds to me like a tow to the tools and time department makes sense.

To finish the above post I should say that Ed's no.s were in the high 240's with the stock size intake, SI stainless valves, and hi 190's with Stock size exhaust valves, SI stainless valves. Exhaust ...

Burek's porting is very aggressive to the point of opening up the area around the head bolts so the bolt is exposed. I have a set of heads he did. They work, how well compared to the other folks, I...

I guess your question is where you can bet a blower manifold for a nailhead. Don Hampton makes them on request. Pricey. Might try BDS also.

Try these guys. I have two of their setups and they are very accurtate.

Schneider (SP) Cams in San Diego does lots of custom cam work. Might try them. Steve Long at what used to be Babe Erson might be willing to do one.
He is in the Long Beach area I believe.
