Mancini advance is from Tony's. Was swiftly shipped too!

Stunning service bulletin halifaxhops! I'm still wondering about that one. Maybe just the thinnest layer spread with my pinky finger? I struck out this time with Napa, but I have ordered the correct vacuum advance for this distributor from Mancini Racing; Mancini Racing Distributor Vacuum...

Oh man, what a roller coaster ride! If this keeps up I'm going to need some drammamine, lol! At least I had an afternoon of believing I was the right color. It was nice while it lasted... I also realized, after carefully relieving that area of interference on my vac advance with pin grinder (it...

Oh, that's interesting... I'll be sure to mention it to the "your cap should be tan" guys, ha ha! Btw, my 30 years in storage plug wires looked great, but were stuck like someone glued them on at the cap and plugs. Tore a few in half trying to get them loose! Definately greasing ends of new...

My Napa buddy came through, and I got what I asked for; Echlin ECH AL124 Cap - $17.00, ECH AL125 Rotor - $6.49. As I was told, they are for "1967 273 Dual point". I still don't know if that means "Prestolite" parts, or that I have a "Prestolite" distributor, but they fit, and it appears they'll...

Thanks for the info guys! I've been talking with a buddy of mine who works at a local Napa over the phone, and he's put some effort into finding an answer, so I'll be checking in with him, this after noon to see what he comes up with. Hoping for a moderately priced, readily available (lol?)...

Hello, 4 months later, and I'm back! Over the winter I tore the engine down to cast iron block and reciprocating assy., replacing all servicable parts, cleaning, painting etc... and now I'm about to put dist. back in, (after relieving some material from the vac adv., and replacing the washers...

Mike in WA State is an expert (85 year old) cast iron welder. He just welded my 273 Commando manifold. Probably a bit far away for you, but I just thought I'd get it out there. He has a lifetime of experience. Cast Iron Repair Specialists

Wanted; one pair of bucket seat headrests for my '67 Barracuda. These are 1967 only and will have a 7-1/2" center to center measurement of chrome posts. Thanks, Ed

Here's a pic of the Pertronix 1385LS installed in my (1967 273) IBS 4013 cast iron dual point distributor. Seems like it fits to me... with rotor and cap on, the shaft spins freely, no problem. I did find slight interference between the vac adv arm and the adv plate. You can see it in the...

Turns out, the new headrests I got were for 68-70. I didn't know 67 is one year only, and unavailable. Luckily PG Classics accepted them back for full refund even though purchased last June or so... Awesome customer service! I removed the back covers and peeked inside my seats, they do have the...

I could use a set too for my 67 Cuda bucket seats. Pearl white would be nice, but I'll take what I can get, lol! Looks like they're one year only. I heard 67 b-body is the same. Not sure if that's right.

I installed my Accurate LTD system over Labor Day weekend, last September, then took the Barracuda for a 500 mile cruise which included "The Rod Run To The End Of The World" in Long Beach WA. Overall. The system is great, very thick aluminized pipe, with nice hangers. It fit pretty good, but...

Well, I finally busted a move and ordered a Pertronics kit. All that is now available is the 1385LS. Hopefully it will work in my distributor. The ad says it will, but doesn't mention the specific distributor numbers. I will post results soon. Hoping to install this weekend, if parts arrive in...

You can count me on the "got my foam from Legendary, waiting for seat cover" list too! Covers are scheduled to ship 10-30-21 (ordered 6-1-21). Hoping for the best... Also hoping my '67 Barracuda non-headrest buckets have the internal brackets on their frames for mounting new re-pop headrests...
