So I volunteered to rebuild a buddy's AVS for him. Like any favor it comes with challenges. :) On reassembly I noticed the small spring that pushes the bowl vent was missing from his carb. I've searched for hours to try to find someone who sells them. Any ideas? Pic to show what I'm talking...
Do you think it would be useful to apply a small bead of Permatex Max Temp Red Gasket Maker or Ultra Copper Maximum Temperature RTV around the ports? I really don't want to have to remove the exhaust manifold to fix a possible leak after the motor is in the car.
Hmm, as per MWbirdLOVER70 's comment I was hoping if I needed a gasket to use one that I could cut the extra gasket material away and only used the area for the ports on the gasket. That way the gasket wouldn't be so obvious on a stock build.
Exhaust, slight pitting of the head should show in...
I have always run my stock manifolds with no gasket. When I bought my latest project I didn't hear any exhaust leaks but now that I am reassembling the engine, after getting the heads back from the machine shop, it seems a but of rust has eaten away the surface between the center ports. I...
If that's a factory Six Pack engine I believe they and their air cleaners were all orange. The DUPLICOLOR DE1631 is what I painted my 1973 340 and it looks just right and just like your pictures.
Haven't fired the engine yet. Been working on the rest of the floors, body work and painting the engine compartment and jambs. Discovered that the cam in the engine was a Comp Cams 268H. From receipts I found it seems the last rebuild by the previous owner was in 1994 at an unknown mileage. The...
I used D&R Chrome for the bumpers on my '73 RR. Dropped them off at a car show, picked them up several months later at another car show so shipping wasn't involved. Beautiful chrome and the best price I could find. 1-855-324-7663

A previous owner of my 73 RR clipped the vapor return line at rubber connector between the front and rear sections and removed everything in front of that. I found a vapor canister/mount and ordered new lines from SS tube. Looking at the shape I believe I am trying to route the vapor return line...
I am. I see you say "1 small rust spot. Minor damage." I can see the rust spot in your picture but what is the minor damage? I am trying to do a restoration with little to no filler.
Where in Wyoming are you located? Interested.
Hmmm, just saw that you are in Basin and Google mapped it. Looks like 8 hours from our place. Will probably need to pass for now. If you ever head down close to Colorado let me know.
I have never seen so much BS. So this is the communications between myself and PartsHawk:
Good afternoon, We are writing to inform you that your most recent order has unfortunately been cancelled. Upon inspection of your ordered item, quality control found that the item was defective, and we...
And I received a message through Amazon from PartsHawk that they weren't available even though Amazon showed several sets left in stock. Bet they are available at the $309.00 price!!:wtf:
I purchased them at the $101.00 price but it now looks like the price has been corrected to $309.99. Bummer. But it has dropped from 8 sets available after my purchase on March 9th to 4 sets available in a couple of days so maybe a few folks got a deal!
