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...

Hey Ryan,
I have a 69 Chevelle with some extra parts lying around. Let me know if
there is anything specific, but here's an idea of some of the things I have:
- stock front a-arms with polygraphite bushings and newer ball
joints. (Very low miles)
- driveshaft w/ yoke for TH350
- stock
I have a complete set of used moldings trim that came off of my 1969 El
Camino (replaced w/ repros). If anybody needs it, let me know. I can't
imagine I'll ever use it for anything.

Pete I dare say that you enjoyed the show a bunch more than the 65 owner. My wife had the same reaction as yours at a show near here. I don't think that I ever got thru to her about what was important.

I'm pretty sure that it would apply up to 1972,,maybe later.

I've got a 70 and have been told that they are different. I sure would like
to know the answer to this question because using the wrong mounts
supposedly changes the driveline angle and creates vibration issues, etc. If
anyone has sets of both mounts for 1970-72 (probably the same for 68 and 69,

of distributor would you recommend for the 396 I'm building? As I mentioned
before, I'm looking for something I can drive now and then and take to the track

I think mechanicals advance at a predetermined rate and
vacuums advance in relation to manifold vacuum which is roughly dependent upon
throttle opening. I have heard that it makes no difference in anything but race
applications. Ditto for vacuum/mechanical secondaries in carbs. I was talked

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 coveragesarefairly priced(c) he's an
independent agent with many different companies to choose from.

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
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

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!
I had a Performance Distributor in my 68's 468 bbc
and never had any problems with it in over ten years. Very good product but also
around $300 now.

D.U.I builds the distributor exactly for your specific vehicle, other
ones are more generic. Get HEI unit and set of their sparkplug wires and
you will be good to go.

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
block. Both of the engine mounts are the same.

Hey, I agree! If you have a relationship with some one you trust, and has
never let you down, it means plenty to me! When I got my car, a friend and I
went to Lawrence Marshalls car museum in Hempstead. They said Grundy was the best. After checking
with several, Grundy had no mileage
That's using your head. Now I wonder if Autozone sells the frame mounts,
too? I think I'll go look...
