Thanks a ton everyone. I cut the head of the pins off and took the bolt out of the back of the wheel cylinder and was eventually able to remove...
Thanks again guys. From my memory, it's been a long time, but I'm almost positive there is no way to access the shoe adjuster star from the back....
Ah, I see. Thanks, I had never thought of that before. I suspect if the shoes are rusted to the drums, some amount of heat and a hammer may be...
Thanks guys, you are correct, 1960 was a one year only, so there isn't aftermarket support. I'm not familiar with this brake setup. When you...
1960 Cadillac sitting in barn for many years. All 4 wheels are frozen solid. Tried pulling the car with a tractor and the wheels still won't...
I ordered the Moroso one and it ended up being too thick to allow my cotter pin to go through the hole. As it turns out, the stock GM one does...
I haven't found one on the Edelbrock webpage. thanks pprather. I had seen that one show up before, but I hadn't seen the reviews that indicate...
What grommet/nylon bushing are you guys using to connect 60's GM throttle rods to a newer edelbrock? The hole is too big for the stock rubber...
OK, thank you
If anyone has a 327 intake, casting # 3844459, could you tell me the distance between the passenger and driver side studs? Thanks.
As it turns out, I may have to use an edelbrock intake after all. I definitely want to use the heat insulator, but I don't think Edelbrock makes...
I got the edelbrock 1403 in and also the heat insulator gasket # 9266. Of course the edelbrock will bolt directly to the Rochester intake, but the...
I don't mean to get overly technical or deep in the history. The intent is more to make it easier when reading articles or the forums when people...
I keep learning this, and then I'll forget it again, so I want to get it in one place so I can make it easier. What Carb brands turned into what...
Here is a picture of the front of the head on my 327. I'm unsure what this head is. Would it be compatible with the stock 327, 300hp intake from...
Jon, Assuming that I do go with a new Edelbrock carb: Suppose I kept the original intake (283), and it ended up that it didn't need an adapter,...
Thanks for the info, guys. I'll add it to the spreadsheet and post up the info when it's done. Heathen, would one of the fiber insulation...
A helpful guy online that had a 3799349 measured the primary and secondaries, and comparing that with what edelbrocks website had, it looks like...
I'm wondering if I should put this in a different thread as the topic has kind of evolved, For now, I'll just keep it here. After doing quite a...
I got these pictures from the casting numbers and heads. I gather from the number on the back of the block that this number was used for 283 and...
Thanks for the numbers, Bob, I've been looking for which intake would fit an AFB. It is broke, hence why I'm going to be making changes. I...
I may use a stock 327 intake that has the correct bore size, just depends on how much and availability. The numbers on the front of the block are...
Thanks for the information. I plan on changing out the 4 Jet for an Edelbrock, so that's good info to be aware of. Thanks
I have a 327 in a 61 Chevrolet that I inherited. It does have some kind of cam in it. I'm unsure of the heads, but I ran the numbers on the...
Thanks for the replies. It has gas from last year. It was non-ethanol gas (we have a local Pacific Pride dealer here and I have an account to...
I drove my for the first time tonight since last winter. It was running fine when parked. Now it has several symptoms that I think are likely a...
I following up on this to explain the solution. The primary floats had pinholes in them.
The butterflies don't appear to be hanging, but I'll check again to see if I missed something. As a side question, the secondaries have these...
Thanks for the reply and no disrespect taken at all. I'm trying to learn and it is far from improbable that I've made an oversight somewhere. I...
Thank you for the responses. I adjusted the floats, varying slightly from what the specs said, and the carb is no longer flooding, however then...
