Looks like a good one Larry. Looks like all/most of the parts are there? I especially like the backwards t-bolt teardrop hood scoop.

Blackmoon; could you get at the screws and back them out once everything is hardened? Then fill the holes.

I used to work in the Chrome buisness. There's nothing like watching a guy unwrap his stuff for the first time. Very rewarding....

Bob; What is their web address? I've got some Hooker side mounts that I'm not sure what coating to use.

My '65 corvette, mild sb400 that I built and installed, 3.36 gear, 8" wide 24" tall tires, "H" rated not too grippy, jobber new clutch, will give a verry noticable chirp into 4th without me trying too hard. Does it all the time. I've only had the car a year so I don't power shift yet 'cause I'm...

For the carb and intake question, if you don't have the original aluminum intake and Holley then I would suggest you use an Edelbrock Performer manifold and an 1850 Holley. Thats the closest to original that I know of and will work great.

Thats it Islander, Thanks. Looks just like my car too!

Gerry I can't find the calculator on the Keisler site. I've used it before but maybe it's gone?

Or the little guy starts pumping the floor jack handle like he's seen Dad do. Everything looked ok from the other side of the garage but I didn't realize the saddle of the floor jack was under the fender of my Chevy Coupe. Bent the fender up about 6". Lucky it was before paint. Or the time I had...

I found many years ago that it's far better to re-use, re-furbish oem parts whever possible, plus I feel a lot better about using the original parts on the car where I can. Some parts you just can't re-use so your stuck using the new stuff that may or may not fit - rubber etc. Even then somtimes...

Good deal. The posi plate "fuzz" will be ok then....... :)

Thanks John, I wondered if I should do an oil change. New cars don't often get a diff oil change when new even back then??? Used gears. Quiet as can be.

Everything is done and I like the gear set. Nice and quiet and very smooth. Goin' for a little hiway drive tonite with the top down. Can't wait. That new 400 likes to run!

It's all together and I've done the test drive. Everyhing is hunky dory and I'm happy again. Guess I'll burn some gas after a late lunch and see how I like the gear set in this car.

Thanks 427, I had a '74 sb/auto in years past and I remember it had 9/16 spring bolts for whatever reason. When I changed the spring [it broke] I had to buy a bottoming tap for one of the holes and I still have that tap. When I noticed the difference the first thing I checked is for the spring...

I re asembled with a very thin coat of moble1 chassis grease. I'm guessing with me being the way I am it will not be as long this time till she comes apart again. Got stuck tonite, the new housing has the 9/16 spring mount bolts, my old cover had th 7/16 bolts. I'll get some bolts tomorrow...

. Anti-seize won't hurt the rubber at all, :beer I anti seize not an oil base product?

Thank men, I am aware of the caution of torquing the bolts with weight on. I'm not sure of the spring bolt torque tho....... I asked this question on the the other board but since I seem to have a thread going here too I'll ask it here as well. Should I use anti sieze on the crossmember...

Sounds great guys. I'm workin on 'er as we speak. Just stoppin' for supper.....

I'm feelin a little guilty about not doing it myself. I've never done one before and I felt that I couldn't do too much better price wise so I bought a rebuilt from http://www.fastcorvette.com/default.htm . $925 and I'll get $225. back for the core. FREE SHIPPING! I feel real good about the...
