odd ball cadillac 331-390 speed equipment

Kev those exhaust are the cats ass are they marine?

I forgot about the pribble stuff too...

 

Anyone know anything about Pribble?

I've got a set of the covers, and have never been able to figure out the history on them. They came off a 331 that was supposedly out of a 34 3 window, around Long Beach somewhere.


They sure look like the ones on this motor...

 

those exhaust manifolds are really cool..I havent seen them before

 

i am pretty sure they are for a boat .i forgot i have also seen edelbrock exhaust manifolds for a boat but there was something about them that you could not use them on the street.

 

Not my stuff, belongs to Squeak Bell. I'm pretty sure the manifolds are Marine.

 

I checked and they will interchange, the electronic units are not quite as tall as the real mags and have that billet looking base without a oiler, you can modify and hide the wiring...

 

great link beatnik--forgot about that one.

I think the timing covers were only marine applications. unless i missed it I didn't see any of the aluminum single 4bbls listed in your stuff--seen a few marine versions there too.

 

I have a Caddy intake from lakeheaders.com . I believe this intake is the same one pictured on the hotrodcaddy.com/speed_parts.htm website because I purchased it off ebay around that time. This manifold is built to replicate the Weiand Drag star intake. I have never used it(just bolted it on my engine while on the stand) Has some light surface rust in places would come off easily with steel wool. This intake was built to run the two center carbs... all 4 outer carbs run as dummies, but it can be bored out to make it completely functional. Flanges are 3 bolt pattern for Stromberg carbs. I paid over $500 for this manifold. $350 + shipping and it is yours. Contact me here or call me at home (509) 624-3176 Jim

 

Kiwi Kev, those pics made my ticker skip a little. All I ever find at the swaps is chrome misc....but at least I can dream, if I can get to sleep.

 

So you didn't bother with the Horne stuff then....

 

I screwed up this should have been an IM
FNGs fault!!!!

 

Awesome parts, I would love to get my hands on a 2x2 intake for my 331.

Great pictures.

 

looking for a set or 2 of old finned cadillac valve covers. i know their new on ebay but i want vintage ones. if anyone has any laying around let me know thanks cameltowing@frontiernet.net

 

Old thread but wanted to show what Street Rodders like to get rid of... all is NOS. He even threw in a complete 52 331, and Lasalle top loader.

 

Man, that stuff is the shit...

 

YIKES. That stuff is cool.

 

Here's my stuff that I've been collecting for my 390.
-Hildabrandt Dimpled Valve Covers
-Eelco Valley Cover
-Edelbrock 3 Carb Intake
-NOS Mallory Magspark Dual Point Distributor

 

Anybody got any info on the magspark distributor?

I posted a thread on the whole old Hildabrandt catalog thread a while back if anyone wanted to look at some cool pics.

 

Let's keep this thread alive.

 

I've got a crush on your distributor.

 

Anybody know the history of PRIBBLE. Did they only make Cadillac valve covers? Are they in any way related to Hidabrandt?

 

Thanks! I know me too! I sleep with her every night! I'm still looking for a Mallory Magspark Transformer if anyone knows of one!

 

i swear there's a company reproducing this stuff. think i might have seen it on the hot rod magazine website? or maybe i'm just thinking of all the caddy 500 racing crap i've seen cropping up the past little bit.

 

What stuff exactly? The valve covers? The
only thing I know are being reproduced are the offenhauser and moon valve covers, eelco and moon valley covers and maybe some other things but not much.

 

Someone is reproducing the Hildebrandt valve covers.

They've been selling them on ebay for quite a while.

I've got a polished lowrise Cragar 6x2 that's going on top of my '60 390 motor. I've seen very few of these manifolds. I'll post pics when I dig it out of storage next weekend.

 

That's badass! You don't see to many of those!

 

yeah, the valve covers and the valley cover too, i think. i feel like i've seen that intake around too repopped, but don't hold me to it.

 

I don't think anyone is repopping early caddy intakes. But jfrolka is making his own 4 carb logs. And of course there is the u-fab ones.

 

Did you get her out of storage yet?
