    Exhaust manifold gaskets

    if you don't like the look of the connections between the functional pieces of the gasket, install them and then cut the offending parts away. IMHO, I absolutely cannot imagine installing those manifolds on heads with nothing in between. Wouldn't any little imperfection in surface and...

    (Sorta) Super Six Build Just Getting Started

    I'm just telling you from my own personal experience from installing several Lokar items in the past. Lokar SUCKS. If it was me, I'd be looking at the Bouchillon products.

    i hadn't even thought bout compression fittings, that would work fine and i have my original fuel line from 62, that end would work fine. if i can't get it to flare properly i will try that, thanks :)

    OzyDuster74 ducktail in process!!

    No kidding! Bazza wants to keep his VG a "driver" for that very reason, I think. As for what they're worth, in Oz or NZ his VG would easily get 2X anything he could get for it here, so I completely understand where you're coming from there. Anyway, nice ride you got there!

    Factory fuel filter locations are located in a relatively cool spot with the outlet higher than the inlet. If you can't use that, what I've done is buy steel line that's already flared for the fuel pump connection. Rebend, and or cut and attach steel line with compression fittings. At one time...

    Did They Make Square Bore AVS Carbs Made That Only Had The Small Bolt Pattern On The Base Plate?

    No AVSs that I'm aware of, but AFBs did up until the mid '60s on big blocks and until '67 on the 273 Commando/Charger motors. Some of the late '50s/early '60s 4 bbl. and dual quad Polys used them too, I believe. Moparlouie has a current for sale ad for some of the 273 carbs, for reference...

    zinc oil useage?

    OK...I had to call Torco. The oil they picked for RRR is NOT a synthetic blend by the strict definition of synthetic. Group III base oils are highly re-refined mineral oils. Group IV base oils are Ester based and Group V base oils are PAO and some other things I forget. The upshot is the Torco...

    Classic Auto Air update 3/28/2024

    Welcome to the wild world of Classic Auto Air!!!! I just hope that a few years down the line (of trouble free cool air) we will both be able to think this was a good investment overall.

    Urethane is good but if you let gas sit on any paint for to long it will destroy the paint and if the paint hasn't cured completely then yea, wrinkle peel off and bubble up.

    Factory steel line is not easy to flare at the best of time, let alone with consumer friendly kits. If line is slipping,file a little off the inside of the tool bar. And use it with the long tail in the vise.

    Are these valve covers factory?

    Yes the original photo (post #1) linkage uses a spring from the kickdown slot to the bracket at front. I think that it functions (using that term loosely) as a kickdown return and throttle return. This means that the function of the slot in the kickdown is completely negated (keeps the...
