You should have the 350-454 frame mounts,Rick. Your
problem almost certainly was caused from the new motor mounts you
bought.

Any guesstimations on what I have in my 72? It was an original 350. When I first installed Headers ( Thorley Tri-Ys) they fit fine. When I installed a crate 350 I bought replacement mounts at a parts store. At that point, the headers rubbed on the lower portion of the steering shaft. I
Right Clint, 2 sets as you describe.
Seems like The General could've saved a few dollars in production costs
and just used the same mounts. :-)

Engine mounts yes. Frame mounts, I don't know. I would suspect yes.
I went to autozone.com and put in a '72 chevelle big block, then a small

Hi
Larry,
I
recommend you give Performance Distributors a call. When you order one of
their distributors they build it with a custom advance curve specifically for
your engine. I've got one in my El Camino and in my Vette. I've
never had any issues with either one!

Good answer Clint. I went directly to Hagerty's for
my '72( before joining this list), and I'm fine with what they did for me. Being
a small business owner myself, I just wanted to give my business to the "little

I just purchased a new Mallory HEI distributor from
Speedtek Performance a couple of months ago. It obviously has vacuum advance.
The latter is probably better for a street car because vacuum advance will
improve fuel economy. I looked at an MSD distributor but the price on one was
over $300
Larry Shouse didn't ask me who was "best",Dan? The
reason I went with Alex LaRue is (a) he supports ACES and our car hobby (b)
his pricing and coverages are fairly priced (c) he's an
independent agent with many different companies to choose from.

My engine makes about 425 and I use an M21. Unless you
are pulling hole shots, the 21 is more than enough and you can pick them up for
$500. Granted, we'll all pull a hole shot once in a while. But for $500, you can
break three 21's before you get to a 22...
