It looks like 9=7-2. Perhaps the person was a moron and didn't realize that 9=7+2;LOL

:wI agree with all the others. Give yourself all the time you need. We don't want you to rush it. It's going to be a long summer. And after that it's going to be a long Fall. We are enjoying every minute of the rebuild. You're doing a fantastic job. Thanks for the updates :BOW

Great idea Jack. Of course when I used silicone, I let it dry first. Should have mentioned that. :duh Hope no one went out and put the ring on with the fresh silicon :gap ;LOL

Dave & 67 I'm in Heaven ;worship It gets no better... well ... maybe ... Funeral for a Friend.:_rock Enough, enough ... time to hit the road! :cool

:D Good call Tigernut! However, I recommend a little variety now and then. :SteerThere is just something about cruising in a 60’s vette and grooving on the oldies! Anyone for a little Tommy James and the Shondells? Ah, now I don't hardly know her. But I think I could love her...

:eek Yikes! And I thought the government was looking out for me. ;LOL

Dennis, :upthumbs Looks great! Just on your shipping problem… I experienced a similar problem a few years ago. I just refused to pay the bill till they fixed the damage. I was fortunate in that I had shipped 2 cars for a total bill of about $2K and the damage was about $800 so I had some...

I had one come off many years ago. I then got the bright idea of writing my phone number on the inside of them, thinking a good Samaritan would find it and call me. That was probably a good luck thing, because I have never lost one since. :L I think the best thing is to always make sure they...

I have had them on for over 20 years, and never had a problem. I don’t know if I am correct in saying this, but my theory is: they could present a problem if you were travelling in reverse. I think they stay on naturally because they are threaded for travelling forward. Of course I would not...

:D Success, the emblem is on! I still don’t know what year of hood I have, but it sure looks like a 66 now. ;) Good point about it possibly being a reproduction. I notice some other catalogues also do not make the distinction for a 66 hood. I could not secure the posts from the underside due to...

Just a dumb question here, but what is the difference between the staggered holes and the non-staggered holes, and what is the flaw I hear about on these valve covers?

:confused Thanks to Islander’s post, I saw the underside of a 66 hood. I notice there appears to be slots for the posts of the “stingray” emblem. Would all 66 hoods look like this? I think I must have a 65 small block hood, because I do not have these on mine. Could someone please confirm this...

Exactly, you need to do the math, but it will work out cheaper on a small item as you save the $30.00 brokerage fee. The other site you wanted (where they get their stock from) is corvetteamerica.com

I have been burned the same way. It's the brokerage fee that is the killer. Usually the product is entering duty free under NAFTA, so all you really need to pay is the GST & PST. Have you ever used Corvette Plus? They are based in Montreal. They are Canadian distributors of Corvette America...

Yeah, I guess that's another fear. I cobble the $350 canister and then the hood does not close! Well, one thing for sure I will not be adding a BB hood.

Thanks Wayne. I looked at some after market canisters today and I think I will have the same problem with going to a 14" filter with any of them. Maybe I will cobble this one a bit to make it fit. At least it will look stock from the top.

I just bought a nice shiny new stock air filter canister for my 66 small block. Much to my dismay, it does not fit on my Holly 650 double pumper. The bottom portion of the canister will not seat because of the bulk of the carb. Anyone else experience such a problem? Not wanting to change my...

Thanks, the photo will be helpful. Would also like to see the underside of a 65 hood if someone could post that.

I have been following rowingone's "64 emblem help" thread and see perhaps there was some "eyeballing" going on at GM when they installed the side fender flags. A while ago I was looking for the measurement for the positioning of the "Stingray" emblem for my 66. I received the measurements from...

Interesting question, and some thoughtful responses. I've been wondering the same thing. Mine right now is a beautiful red, but the original colour is tuxedo blue. My numbers don't match but everything else is pretty well original. My paint is in really good shape, but I am tempted to go back to...
