Chris, if you all work something out somehow and need parts brought, I am heading to NC and then GA in early/mid June. Could bring something...
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Thanks Eric.... I'm going to do a bit of research and decide on a course. @toolmanmike and those new heads seems like a much faster way to get me back on the road.
8 hour drive if you just wanna come get a pair of heads... could have them this weekend.
They are great, other than the fact that 1/4 of it stays in the tube when its “empty”. I popped the top off and was disappointed to see how much goes unused.
Had to adjust my hood again to put the new hood pins on. Also pulled the rear shocks. Drizzly rain and cool out today..............
Colonial park road
Nice to know. You another Chris? LOL my imogies dont work. So have a return finally, guy says it is stuck in advance. OK talk for a while good guy I back my crap up. He had it dynoded at 550 hp. (worked 440) talked to the engine builder thst was with a MSD. Well low and behold mine made 610! They crashed it somehow on install and bent the upper shaft shaft and the advance stuck. Then he tells me it should be mech only. Took care of it, rep means a bunch to me like my word. Holy crap the builder put ten orders to me! Funny how that works egh?

Those shaft shafts are so fragile
610? Not bad there Hoppy 
60 horse difference, musta been bent in the right direction
Hah!
Just want to stop screwing around and get this thing on the road again. Fastest way to driving.... Looking at those heads from Advance Auto that are ready to roll... About the same price point without waiting on a machine shop.

Hey, us Chrises are the best
I got a new set of shocks last year , noticed the ride was not very good , took the shocks off and right one just collapses and won't return. Can't be a good sign?
That's not good, what shocks are they?
Monroe-Matic plus
Do they have a warranty, get you get it replaced?
Monroe is generally a good product. They should warranty that shock...Ohhhh, I just put 2 new Monroe Struts on the front of my 08 Caddy DTS today.....Just finished , now to test ride.....LOL.....
Will give it a try .

Same on my Polara only it was the right front
He came down to $450 including the adjustable rockers and pushrods...but the rods are for a hydraulic cam and I'm pretty sure the 65 is a solid cam (??)
Get yours replaced?
You can for sure rin adjustable rockers on a hyd cam. They are made for solid. Works with either
They have them available through Rockauto but I haven't looked. I just found them but they are out of stock now. (they need rebuildable cores I bet)

Another company with 50/50 junk. Have seen a few monroe products fail lately. Check on warranty, some is lifetime.
Thanks . Got them from Carquest.
Speaking of warranty, moog will not honour warranty if sold by rock auto. At least in canada, came from a moog rep.
