    Rick @ Layson's........thanks...

    Thanks Dan, your thoughtful and thorough response is gratefully appreciated. I have already archived it for future reference. Now that I have a plan, it looks like I need to get a couple of the Eurospec Cibies to stand in until I can take the time to remove, disassemble, refurbish, and...

    Rick @ Layson's........thanks...

    Dan, although the Z beams in my Duster have lost a lot of the silvering on the reflectors, they're still superior anything else out there. I know they've been out of prodution for a long enough time now that the supply has dried up to the point that they seem to be made of unobtainium these...

    4 Barrel on 273?

    Dumping that Performer into the soup (carburetor cleaner) and/or bead blasting will get it looking good. Nothing wrong with an AFB and that one looks to be in decent shape, might be worth carefully popping the top off to make sure the inside isn't all gummed up. Fairly simple to rebuild, if...

    E-brock Performer has small ports that match up well on a 318, should work on a '66 273. I ran one for years with an 1850 Holley (manual choke, side hung floats, and the cheapest four barrel Holley offered, I think I payed 69 bucks for mine on sale) on the 318 in my 67 Coronet. Used to average...

    225 valve cover

    Offenhauser valve covers I have are high quality good looking pieces. Part is "old school" enough there's no PCV provision, but the .org guys have that covered with a how-to on drilling the cover for one, complete with part numbers for the bits you'll need to pick up to do a baffled PCV. I...

    Trunk prop question

    Unless this is a resto (doesn't sound like it it you're into modifying the stock pieces instead of replacing them with NOS), why not get a couple of small gas struts (junkyard what you need or there's virtually any size/length of replacement available now at most auto parts or hardware stores)...
