Re: Break-in gone wrong!

I have a fixture for testing oil pumps. I'd gladly test yours if you'd like.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts

That is a Canadian no. In US, the basic cam number was 6250. Be interesting to find out the specs.

Re: Front seals

I have installed many 1 piece seals on my builds and have yet to have a problem, even with the stock spiral sleeve.

Re: Front seals

Re: 1939 radiator overflow tank?

Re: 1939 radiator overflow tank?
