"What is a good religion?"

Local rebuilders with actual skilled and knowledgeable craftsmen for the win!

Lokar might not be the best way to go. Nothing wrong with the idea, but see this thread for kickdown options. As for your throttle cable: Yes, you want a correct shorter one. Fortunately the one you need is cheap and easy to get.

Fer serious? That's weird. In that case, the only purpose it could serve is to alter the timing in one direction or the other (advance it or retard it) during engine cranking to improve ease of starting with whatever basic ignition timing setting was used.

The solenoid built into the vacuum advance permits a retarded timing setting at idle to attain correct idle speed with a relatively wide throttle opening for cleaner exhaust at idle. Power to the solenoid goes through a closed-throttle switch on the carburetor so as soon as the throttle is moved...

Right, of course he did. And did he offer any proof for this guess of his? To answer your original question: Probably China and very likely junk. There are a lot of very good auto parts (and other things) coming out of Korea.

This what you're showing us appears to use a '70-'72 style choke well with the bolt-in stamped steel cup atop an open stove hole, rather than the cast-in choke pocket. The choke thermostat you need (not the pull-off; that's the vacuum diaphragm up on the carburetor) if you want a factory-type...

No, yer not; I count a couple others and I'm joining in, too. An SP2P intake on my 318 D100 in place of the factory cast iron intake did exactly what Edelbrock claimed it would do: noticeably improved fuel economy and driveability. What did it do to high-RPM power? Don't know, don't care; it was...

Body is COMPLETELY different. Engine bay is much smaller in the '60-'62 A-bodies. Why? It's been done, but it's kind of a "look what I did, look at meee" thing to do. It requires extensive hacking of the car to fit the engine and transmission. And then what's the goal? What are we going to...

Now that I think about it I am pretty sure I have a complete A-body factory drum brake booster/brackets setup on the shelf; send me a PM.

Many different brake boosters were used on A-bodies. Diameter and depth depend on year, brake system type (disc/drum or drum/drum) and whether the power brakes are factory or dealer installed.

Yup. All '72 440s had Holley 4bbls, according to the '72 FPC.

No, "H51" means factory A/C with heat and defog. Engine codes start with "E".

How do you reckon that? 684mulas said his 1/3 bottle is a guess; I did the math and presented the evidence to prove 1/3 bottle per oil change is still 4x too much.

I was kinda wondering how long that was going to take. :roll:

Hold on a sec, let's not swallow this sales pitch from Lucas quite so enthusiastically. Maybe it's just me, but I have a hard time trusting technical information from someone who doesn't know how to spell a simple, easy word like Zinc. There's no "k" in it. I lose even more confidence when the...
