Thom McCan's penny loafers. In the summer of 68 went to California to find a 57 2-dr wagon. Ended up with a 59 4-dr with a painted 427 emblem on...

I disagree. Runners are too rectangular to be a tunnel-wedge and no evidence of air space around them either, Rod.
IIRC, the "492" on the carbs mean "4"=year (64), "9"=month (Sept), and "2"=week (2nd week of September, 1964). The original car could've been...
The heads have an "H" for the suffix, not an "I". Is there a stamped number on the intake near the thermostat housing (it'd be the date code)? The...

Just to add a bit, aluminum is still allowed for service entrance cable (wire between meter and main service feed in the house). Rod.
Aluminum can be used but will need a bigger size to carry the same amperage load as copper. All connections must use a CU/AL rated connector as...
Have you put a vacuum gauge on it yet? I quickly scanned the replies, didn't see anyone mention testing, tuning, and timing it with a vacuum gauge.
Piney, great shots from Indy in 63. Do you have any more of the #997 S/S M/T car? My son and I are currently restoring (more cleanup than...
