With all the weird finishes out there and the 'hot' solvents/catalysts used in the new paints, I use a sealer. Cheap insurance.
What amperage is the alternator?
A friend has one of these in a '57 Belair sedan. Keeps it cool and has outlets L and R plus center. Nice unit....
When you say "sandwiched kind" are you talking about the later model 'clamshell' mounts? They come with just the insert and you use the old...
I'd say 3 or 4 psi max for the fuel pressure. If you have flat tappet cam, keep the rpms up to about 2000 (use ZDDP additive) for first 15/20...
When you feel that "you really don't need one" come back and look at this picture...... [img] [img]

A friend's Rivera is painted with a late model Lincoln color that has "diamond dust" in the factory mix. The paint was VERY expensive but really...
The 'cable' has NOTHING to do with 'when it shifts'. It sets pump pressure in relation to throttle position. Set it correctly then forget it....
Looking at this thread on putting one in a Gen I Camaro, I'd say it would fit. That being said, the repair costs for one are HUGE! if you break...
Front port to front brakes, rear to rear. Here's a diagram (be sure to note position of m/c pushrod, this is under the floor mount) When you have...
I'm trying to picture how you've hooked a brake m/c to a clutch slave..... Get a clutch m/c, they don't have internal valves, are correct volume,...
The early heads have smaller combustion chambers so it will raise the compression a little (not a bad thing) Depending on what you use the valves...
I have found that mine likes about 5psi. I tried 6 and 7 and in both cases, it seemed to load up at stoplights. Zero problems at 5 and it...
And, if it has an auto trans, be sure to have fluid in the trans/convertor.
Pretty sure that all the owner's manuals that came with 700R4 equipped vehicles say to NOT tow in OD.
Just be sure it doesn't load up and runs cool at low speeds. Kind of takes the fun out of it if you stall/overheat.
I saw your reference to 8 or 9 psi on fuel pressure. That's too high for an Edelbrock. You need to regulate that back to 6 max. I run mine at 5...
If the 2.6 is a direct swap, I'd already have it in there.............
That "plate" increases the flow. Most of the 'high flow' pumps you buy for any motor have that added to the impeller.
The Pertronix III has multi-spark (full range) and rev limiter.
O'reilly's store stocks them here. They have 2 or 3 different types. Here's a list of common "conversion" joints"...

155hp in a 3250lb car. Yes it should run faster than that.
This 'rubber' version replacement has to be easier and probably better than trying to use one of the original 'rope' type seals.......
Look down the page here: http://www.carburetion.com/quadrajet.asp Or here: http://www.carbsonly.com/carbs/carbschoke1.htm
Here's a list showing Corvette ('84-'91) pumps from Edelbrock.... shows short with serp belt (2 versions) Be SURE the shaft diameter fits your...
Here's some pics of early Ford spindles. May help [img]
Don't know the answer but here's a link with several early Pontiac owners. May get some info from them....
