[ATTACH][ATTACH][ATTACH]'28 Chevy four cylinder power, complete with a stock intake flipped upside down with a Carter W1 from a 216 on it!
The owner fired the Ardun up while I was looking at it.
I remember reading an article about hopping these engines up in an early '60s Hot Rod magazine, and I believe that if you put Olds heads on a...
Maybe Wilcap?
...or someone ran it on an engine with .060 or more shaved off of the heads.
Didn't the car on the "Little Duece Coupe" album cover have them?
I knew someone who flipped the stock intake manifold upside down and used a Carter model WO from a 1946-52 Jeep.
I believe in getting there early. I'll get there around noon tomorrow.
I've seen them plain, with the aforementioned 52 58 cast on them, and with OLDS cast on them.
Okay, maybe now we can go another two weeks before the points vs. electronic battle flares up again! It's like a political argument; neither...

From 1962-64.
Dropping the tank out of my '53 wasn't a big deal; in fact, it has a 1/8 pipe plug in the bottom that allows you to drain it first.
...and they were all recalled when it was discovered that driving in close proximity to a radio station made them whack out. I wonder who the...
If you like the looks of small air cleaners, buy a couple K&N filter elements for them. A friend had a '39 Ford coupe with a stock 59A in it,...
