You can use the old adapters that were made to keep your plugs from fouling. They are the same thread as a common air hose, and of course they will screw right into the plug hole. Any parts store would have these. They used to be called "anit-foulers". Brian From: Ron Zeppin <[EMAIL PROTECT

Hi Michael... a few places make a piece that screws into your spark plug hole on the head, and you hook a compressor up to it, filling the cylinder with compressed air keeping the valves up... by far the easiest way to do it... I think they may even sell them at Harbor Freight... I'm sure Powerh

Put a new cam in the '66 454; am now changing out the valve springs. First time I've done this, and it's going slow. Any tricks to keeping valves in closed position while compressing the spring? Seems it's more "luck of the draw" whether the stud-mounted compressor I'm using will press the valve in

I assume the dealer would have had to install the SS hood as that wasn’t a factory option.  Gauges were not a SS item but could be ordered on any V8 Malibu or SS and would have been special order or either.  I question the 375hp w/factory air as GM didn’t put A/C on solid lifter engines. It

Some facts are apparent right away on the El Camino. There was no SS option for El Caminos until 1968,GM did not offer a/c on solid lifter engines,and the SS hood wasn't an option,either. If you bought it from the original owner,where's the documentation? Sorry,I don't buy the story. Clint H
