    Long,
    Are you needing another exhaust manifold? If so, I have the original from my 263 that I will not be using since changing over to the dual carb setup. I haven't looked at it in a long time but it is probably in decent shape. Let me know if I can help.
    Thanks,
    Pat

    not sure yet. one just needs threads, the other not sure. it has broken studs. is yours already separated from intake and mixer? I'll be drilling, tapping, extracting tonight. just hope I have enough Bourbon. thanks

    No, it is still all bolted together as original, didn't want to mess with it because I wasn't going to use it.
    Good luck with the repair, the manifold is here if you need it.

    feel kind of dumb. had dizzy 180° off. I put a dial indicator on #1 intake rocker, turned over until it went down back up. then you know its on #1 comp stroke. reset dizzy and things are good. tried for about 1 hour with OG carb. scrapped that idea. threw the old edelbrock back on. buying a new carb is planed for future. runs good so far. only a quick lap around the block. hopefully ready for the 800+ mile trip planned for Friday.

    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. oldbuickjim@gmail.com
