I got a 248 engine in a swap. I think it maybe a 39 or newer. It came from a guy (who passed) and he had a 41 sedan with this as a spare engine. My ‘38’ engine has the ID numbers above the...
i believe that the factory increased the diameter of the exhaust pipe after the 'y' joint. This allowed the increased air to the intake to balance the exhaust air going out. You must have both or...
Balanced breathing is imperative. Go in and go out must be balanced. Dual intake won't work. The engine is a air pump. If you provide better breathing in the input and choke the output with the...
If you send me your e-mail address, I will send you a pix of my tags on my car. I'll bet your DMV would reactivate an old tag that matched your car. My tags stays with my car. If I were to sell...

Wacker, I am interested in what you did to get a 'full flow' oil filter. What did you do?. I installed a '48' buick filter assembly that feeds the rocker assembly on my 263. ...
I am just starting my "new" 263. I am using my old 1938 starter. The only slight change is in the solenoid. You can use any 6 volt starter, just change the solenoid to match your year. Is the...
I have lived in several states. (Fla. now) Most will do a "lost title" but you need a receipt for the purchase. There is two means of ID the car. One is the number on the frame ( or door jam) and...
