Thanks!

Just tried to PM 63GT his fricken mailbox is full.

Click link on post #4 and click on his name and send him a PM….

Looks like all you have to do is message 63gt directly….

If you don’t have sight plugs then is float height just a mechanical measurement while disassembled? Like my motorcycles?

Does anyone use those clear see-through float bowl plugs? Seems like that’s a great idea rather than spilling gas anytime you wanna check float height. But I’m not sure if they work very well. Oh and are these used just as a diagnostic tool or run permanently?

Hhaa yup

Test fitted carb.

I can’t see any numbers on it but I believe it’s the stock pulley.

Another taste….. 77% said paint. So I did and I am super happy. Now if I can bend and shape my kickdown bracket to fit all would be right with the world!

I went to the hardware store to see if I could match the color of my manifold. I asked if they had “infected dog but” but they just ran out and said just wait.

No the holes were good. I used JB Weld and tapped them in. I test fitted each plug as there was some variability, so some plugs fit better than others.

So I am still waiting on my thermostat water housing. I assume that not having a thermostat relief for the thermostat to sit in the manifold is normal? The relief must be in the mating housing?

For future reference who/where is Leanna?

I had this in my shop. Mixed a little slow reducer.

IT IS DONE! The monster is alive I tell you! ALIVE!

Starting to get a bit warm aya?

Get your motor running…..

What and why is a thermal barrier? Don’t you want heat conduction for maximum dissipation though radiation?

Great call and feedback. Looks like you’ve been down this dusty road a few times before! Looks like I can use a little “off the too”. Wish I had hair….

Oh crap I didn’t think about that! I will asap!!

I am not set up for that but yes that would be really nice! Probably the best idea in terms of toughness and longevity.

So I think I have a winner! I was rummaging around the shop and found this. It’s definitely vintage lol but I am gonna try it! I just test fitted my manifold as I just got it back from the machine shop. Its perfect. We took off the thickness of the gasket ~ 0.065. Oh and it doesn’t really say...

So would a 1970 340 be the right application for this size? Again I have the dimensions but everything is based off application. Also I noticed that the opening in the manifold does not have any lip. It’s all flat. Is that how the stick manifolds are as well?

Yes I think you’re right. Because when I put my old thermostat housing on the M1, it was too big and I needed to get one for a magnum, so does this mean that the larger one is standard for LA intake size?

So I am in the process of replacing my intake manifold. I noticed my M1 thermostat housing and thermostat is smaller than my replacement manifold. It’s significantly larger. M1 hole diameter 1.5” bolt sep 2.8” New Manifold 2.1” “ 3.25” What gives? Is the new one set up for...

Well?

And in my case as the OP I was dealt an existing engine that was reinstalled in my car. Worked on it a bunch, made it run better but wanted to continue to try and improve its performance but moreover provide me more headroom in not detonating. Just because I can’t hear or feel it detonating does...

Or the average dude should read and ask a lot of questions and then try and tune and learn what he can. If he doesn’t he will never be able to be anything else other than an average dude.
