I don´t know is this the best way, but it works. I use produckt called Autosol. I think it made in England? It fine rubbing paste. You can use it with different kind of cloth. Harder the cloth is quiker part starts to shine. Don´t use too hard clothes. Today I cleaned ´65 model K/O-wheel bright...

Rick, I think you are right. This number witch I found does not lead anywhere. I have heard stories about different casting number and actual number witch GM used when they sold cylinder heads. Best thing is that engine works fine and is quite powerfull (0-60 mph 5.6s and 1/4 mile 13.8s with...

Raised runners should be from few last years production? Or many has said that way. There is lots of open questions and tales of these heads. No KTM does not refer to motorcycle, those are my name initials.

Cliff, I found that sort of info, but accurate knolege is needed. Part number is little bit strange. You bought very first model angle plug heads? Was 1973 first year for those heads and last but not least were those heads so called "raised runners"? Thank you Cliff, it is allways nice to hear...
