Stop in for a cup of coffee

The Honey Do list of course!

I don’t know!

I’m hoping this plate will finally be the one that works, if it is, I will attempt to fire the Polara.

Bring me up to speed on the dip stick problem. Poly 318?

Ok, cliff notes. I booked my jacket sleeve on the one in the engine when I was changing the fuel pump a while back. It broke it off right the little bubble. I used a bolt extractor and removed the little stub left in the block.

Since then, I have tried two part store replacements that are said to be for the poly, both too big, a good 1/8 inch bigger diameter on both ends. Same with the Chrome Direct Connection LA dipstick I’d bought off here a while back. I tried a factory 318LA from a spare engine as well, no such luck. Unfortunately my spare poly is already missing the dipstick and my wanted ads have gone unanswered.

So I’m thinking I either braze the poly dipstick back together, or braze the dang thing to the block somehow

I have a 59 poly parts engine and a complete 66. I can see if I can pull it off the 59 but it can take me a day to get it

Morning fellers!

 

[dartnabout]

I don't want to get started today. Someone needs to clean this house!

 

[dartnabout]

Oh...Good Morning

Good morning and Happy Weekend to you guys. Gotta run to the post office, they are open a whopping 60 minutes on Saturdays, 9 to 10 am. Headed to FL Mon morning to spend a few days with my Mom.

Road trip today.
Going for parts for the 51.
Should be interesting. Basically going to see a lifetime collection of parts. And get to chat with an interesting fellow.

That sounds like fun.

I'll trade you. I have a funeral to go to today and another one tomorrow. Arggg

That violates my 'one funeral per month' rule.. Sorry you have that on your plate..

If it doesnt, make a paper pattern out of a folder and I'll make you one in January when I'm home next.

Is that the "one size fits all"?

 

[toolmanmike]

Hey Chris, @dukeboy_318 Is the intake bolt pattern the inside holes on the adapter?

Now that's worth doing, have a good visit!

Checking out for awhile, the weekend grind of propane and water refilling, laundromat etc. On a happier note I will probably pull my engine hoist out of storage to unload/open my lift, had it for several weeks and haven't made time to uncrate it.

 

[Unconventional]

Or maybe.
It's Shopping Saturday!
The scarey part is, that fine piece of technology was built by a guy I knew in the old country

dude, that’d be awesome! Thanks

Sweet thanks!

Is that the "one size fits all"?

No. This is actually a Holley to a Rochester 4Q adapter. Which according to the data available never came on a poly intake but the measurements say other wise

Hey Chris, @dukeboy_318 Is the intake bolt pattern the inside holes on the adapter?

That's just crazy talk to him.
Tried to get him to do that before he spent more $$$.

Sure is time for another cup!

Just woke up and having first cup. Good Morning

At least you don't need parts for the 49 anymore. ​

Drank a bit much last night. Went through the woman's closet full of craft stuff. Seems she had half the inventory of a Hobby Lobby store. Well, i ended up dipping my testicles in glitter... It was pretty nuts.

I bought a pair of gym shoes from a drug dealer...

I don't know what he laced them with, but I've been tripping all day...
