Didn't see the pic when he first posted it. Thanks guys. Appreciate it.

Happen to know ?

Thanks ! That got me started in the right direction. The 2 pins by the vent are the only ones it fits. Now I have to find out which way it goes on.

First time rebuilding a Holley 4160. When I took the primary bowl off, this was laying in it. Anyone know what it is or what it does ? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I'm using electronic, but I think I got a hold of a lean-burn distributor. I just ordered a new one from Mancini that's been recurved and has the adjustable vacuum pot. I had this one set at 5 deg. btdc, but when I nailed it,the car would stumble until the centrifugal advance could catch...

Can anyone tell me what the initial advance should be on a '71 360. All my manuals say look at the sticker on radiator, but since this engine is not native to my '76 Scamp, the "sticker" obviously is not there. Thanx in advance, Red Beard

yeah, it's got a small half moon shape chunked out of it. do i line that up with the drain plug on the convertor?

I've got a '71 360. My machine shop that balanced the rotating assembly did so with my ATI Damper and B&M flexplate. I've just gotten a Coan 3000 stall convertor for the 727. I know the 360 is originally balanced by weights on the convertor. My question is, do I still need to put weights on the...

Welcome aboard Cuda

I'm in. :)

Well I guess I'm buying new wheels for the front. My 8 3/4 has the small bolt pattern and I was hoping to keep them all the same. Back to the parts store I guess... Thanks Jack !! James

I have the uca's and spindles for my disk setup now, but all the rotors I can find are 5 x 4.5 bc and I want to keep the small bolt pattern. Anyone know anywhere to find them. All the parts houses have is LBP also. I thought all a-bodies had 5 x 4 thru '76. thanks in advance, James
