Looking to use an ultrasonic cleaner to clean older four barrels; Holley 650, Quadrajet, Rochester. Is a 6L cleaner large enough? Anybody using...
Congratulations on Number 2!
Is there anything about Dan Glover’s ‘57 that would identify it as “the car”? Not encouraging a clone just so much can be changed.
Thanks Dan. Ordered the RJ issue 66. Want to post this elsewhere for more exposure!
What issue of Hot Rod or other magazines was it in?
I am! Did the ‘53-‘55 Corvette have a stock camshaft or any internal modifications?

Thanks all. The designation “GF” fits and I see it clearer[ATTACH] in this second photo. Was the 195 vs 220 just the 4bbl or more to it than that?...

Decoded this as a ‘65 283. When it comes to the codes I get a 195 hp rhd manual or a 220 hp depending on source. Some help with the code and maybe...
Thanks, I’ m listening. I do have an older Hurst Competition Plus. Plan is to use 10” Cragar with L60- 15 metric replacements.

I looked over and overlooked that spec! Thanks!
It is a dynomax 17734. Not labeled like the one pictured above

[ATTACH] Still waiting....and one in the garage ...and one on the other side of the garage...and a frame (does that count) behind the garage.
