I've come to the conclusion that however built this just made it work. They make what fel pro calls a positive seal that just fits snug over the stock valve boss and that's what he used but the inner spring rides on it. So you know how long that would last. Like all but 4 ended up in my pickup...

The cam that's in it is an old crane fireball was thinking the springs could be crane also if he used a kit. I had this same set up in a 318 back in the 80s ran good. Found it funny the only difference between the two engines is the double valve springs. So yes I could use the single spring. My...

I'll get some pictures posted as soon as I figure out how to get my new iPhone to download pictures.

No two springs nothing flat in mine

This engine came out of a car i bought years ago ran good real good, pulled all the running gear and parted the rest. Just tore down the engine and was going to do a cheap rebuild. Clean it hone it rods mains and rings gaskets and seals. I have no idea what valve springs were used but it does...

I have a 69 318 w/stock heads. Well my question is it has stock heads 318 with double valve springs. Im assuming not original. The umbrella seals are gone most likely the junk I found in the oil pickup. I bought a felpro gasket set was rebuilding my heads and the seals won't work with the...

I had the same grief from people on another site when i asked this question. Now Im lazy and just drilled a new hole in the spring seat and shock plate, I only moved mine an inch. the rear is in but no drive shaft or shocks installed yet.

Well we only needed two weeks to get the trunk floor in. When we cut the old one out the end of the frame rails had so much rust i cut them out and made new ones, and fixed the rear cross member. The outer wheelhouse pass side is next.

Got the VFN fiberglass 340 scoops today they look good nice job, only ordered them a month and a half ago But for $100 bucks. Now all i need to do is drill a bunch of holes in my hood

Hi all, If someone makes this bracket i cant find it, And the one in my 70 is trashed and the new trunk is going in soon. Also i need the ring that goes around the gas filler neck. Thanks

Got the trunk floor and floor pan today from Hardens Muscle Car World in Lexington, Mo. Its cool having a Mopar Restoration parts house just 4 blocks from my house. They still say the wheel house will ship 3+ weeks, and hes trying to find another supplier so i can get them faster.

Well the outer wheelhouse will not ship for three weeks:angry7: so the quarters wont go on till then. So the trunk floor will get replaced now. And we are replacing the drivers floor pan, once we got the wire wheel out the holes showed up, not bad but we only want to do it once.

Nice job, i like your work area. Our work area is grass/mud but it is in the shade. I just wish we could get it in the garage, now the daylight keeps getting shorter. From one father/son to another i wouldnt trade this for anything and looking forword to a father/daughter project in six years or so.

Got some more stuff done over the weekend, I decided to get new outer wheel wells, so it will be a little longer till i get the quarters on. I also got the hinges done and rehung the door The pass. side is starting to look 40 years younger.

Im happy it worked out for you. I need to do the pass side, ill try this weekend. I got ahead of myself and cut that quarter off before i got the measurments so i need to do some math to get it right i will post it for you.
