This winter I'm planning a major
overhaul!
Any customization tips?
Or should I make it as original as
possible?

Hey Jay,
See if that Link is working for you for the pics to the wagon, I probably have someone that would be interested in it. What part of the country are you in.

me with the concept of some assembly required... ;^)

a brand that is taller than stock but not those great big ones like the

Just a thought, but an engine builder buddy of mine opines that since the
blocks and manifolds were sand cast originally, they must have had a way to
get the sand out reliably. That's why there are all those extra holes.

Would a pair of the Felpro sandwich gaskets help you get the
clearance you need? I used a pair of them with stock valve covers on my 468"

As far as I
know, valve covers are either standard height or tall. I would assume that everyones tall
cover is the same height, but Im not sure.

Are you getting any spark knock? Is the car running warmer than before? How
do your plugs look? Are you talking about idle mixture?
A miss is more often than not ignition-related.

When both marks are pointing at each
other, that is #6 at TDC.
When both marks are pointing

It sounds as you set the timing up

That would be 180 degrees out of timing.

I am not sure but I think that if you unbolt your motor mounts you should be
able to lift the motor high enough and slip the headers down in there.
