Thanks everyone for the tips and advice!
I'm going to remove the old ones and see how they're mounted. Thanks!

Those appear to be the lowers. I need uppers. They're a bit fatter and not as tall.
Thanks everyone for the input so far. I'm taking notes!
My project is a 1957 Pontiac Catalina StarChief and I'm currently working up front on cleaning things up, inspection and installing new brake...

So far? Favorite part is building it my damn self. And learning as I go.
I wonder if anyone ever followed up and got a valid code for those of us needing this paint. I've got a 57 Catalina hardtop survivor that I yanked...
That's the HAMB. An archive of knowledge to help ppl solve problems. Years later. I just found one of these Edelbrock EP4B intakes to use on my 57...

I see we both have similar ideas for our cars; I'm going for a certain look, something mild kustom that I might have built back in high school out...

Thanks! I did convert the choke on my current 4GC to electric and will stick with that setup when I swap manifolds so the choke heater won't be...
Thanks! Bob. Those were the technical details I was looking for. The flapper valve in the 347 does work but I converted the choke to electric so I...
Question regarding the round center ports on the 347 manifold and the little tube that runs through there. What is the port's purpose? Is it a...
I wouldn't mind having a Binks #7 to try out. Lots of folks swear by them.
HF sent me a credit card couple years ago so I picked up a few of their guns just to use the card. Two normal guns and a detail. Figured I'd used...
I want to flake my 57 (Pontiac). I'm thinking these old guns won't have a problem with it at all. Any tips on tip size? Most of my MBCs have #30...
Nice! That's what prompted me to seek out these old guns. When I shoot my 57 (Pontiac) I want to do it old school. With a US made gun of the era.
Small damned world. Grandparents home was (is) on Holland near Engle Road. They left Ohio for Florida early 70s. Both passed a couple decades ago....
I bought one old MBC earlier this year to paint my 57 Pontiac with. Then got another as a spare. Then someone offered me a few more that they...
Of the common MBCs I have, I'll keep a couple of the nicest ones to use and turn rest into into lamps and pinstripe them. Folks seem to like them....
Keep an eye out at eBay. Always plenty of old guns and parts available. I always look there first.
Resurrecting this old thread to show off my old DeVilbiss MBC with the KN pressure feed setup. DeVilbiss is my favorite of all the old school guns...
That roof. I'm seeing a floor pan patch for my Poncho. :rolleyes:
GREAT thread. Thanks for all the shots, lots of inspiration. And now I'm happier than ever over my choice to go with a Pontiac. Not a very...
Best car there sez I from my armchair. It's unique. Stands alone. Doesn't use the same taillights, bumpers and headlight arrangements everyone...
