When aluminum house wire sprung on the usa home market back in the mid? 60s there was a need for an anti-oxidant goop at every joint, splice, terminal and junction. When this was ignored and used dry, the house burned down. Now, i realize you are talking about a bit of a different animal, but...

Id like to think that your post is step one towards an important sticky thread, but I personally dont have enough experience with conversions to say......hopefully im not the only one. Good info tho. :thumbsup:

I always found that suspension ubolts ( even newer ones) came off easier with a ratchet, or just steady tension round and round (if you have space) as opposed to impact tools.....something about the springyness of the long bolts defeats the impacts effectiveness.

Is it yours?? Whats the trade interest?

Thats an old one. If they put decent money into it, like dragway-42 & norwalk (summit) have, it certainly helps their chances of survival. :thumbsup:

I thought (could be wrong) that you may not find it there on '68 blocks. Just starting out ya know. I would look along the back of the bellhousing area for numbers too, near the end of the oil galley ports, on a 68. Front pad and casting might give you some important dates as well.

Ill take "what were they thinking" for a thousand Alex.....

Dunno, but if you meant 66 and 67 B body, they are pretty much identical to each other.

No, actually from post #4. /me rolls eyes I actually thought the additional information i included may have helped the OP a bit??

I dont know what K i have....certain its not the original BB-K the car was built with...... i had to take that little notch out for the oil pump.

Im all but certain that the springs that came out of my very original 64 Belvy had the same mopar number on both springs.....now im gonna have to dig them out and look....

Why not check the factory parts book for '68?? If they arent there, then they must be non original, or for a different application??? You can download any year at mymopar.com.

Does anyone know the casting number, or is there more than one of those for the C body applications? TIA, Lefty

Maybe someone created that little time capsule, just for you actually??

The OEM Mopar ones seem to have lasted pretty well. Im sure you could spray some clear laquer or enamel on it to last longer, but that may lead to peeling I guess. What heads?? Maybe a valley plate is the real answer??
