    Gas in Intake

    I ran into this identical problem with my 67 - 289 2v. I would be interested to know if you solve the problem and how. I have been "watching" mine. I narrowed mine down to a warped spacer that wasnt sealing with the gasket. I changed the spacer out with new gasket and it seems to be ok -...

    Sealing Differential

    Gasket - that brings up another question. When I pulled it out, there was not a gasket between the 3rd member and housing - just the sealer. I have been told that the gasket doesnt have to be used. I have had my car for 20 years and never had a leak untill I broke the seal a week ago...

    Sealing Differential

    What product - specific names please - is the best sealer when re-assembling the third member to the housing? I have heard that regular silicon can "disolve" over time? Are there any "tricks of the trade" when putting this back together that would get it right the first time? Any help is...

    2100 Carb Re-Jet

    I want to re-jet my carb to get more fuel into the engine. I have an original 2100 Autolite 2V Carb. Does anyone know where I can find the Jets to put into this carb? Are they pretty standard? For example, can I order these through Summit or Jegs? Any help would be appreciated.

    Heater Hose Routing?

    I have a 67, no air conditioning, 289, Stock Rebuild. My photos from the break down show that the top heater hose gets routed throught the bracket on the carb to the intake manifold. That would leave the bottom heater hose to connect to the water pump. I have a book, 67 manual that shows...

    300+ HP 302 build

    This intrigues me - first, I apologize for my ignorance. Can someone tell me how you "know" if you have a 302 block? Is the block identified in some way? Can you tell if you have a 302 block without measuring the stroke? I thought that the only difference between a 289 and a 302 was the...

    Flywheel - 160 - 289 2v

    Thanks for all of the info on this - I think we have found a solution - this gear ring is pressed on to the flexplate - we are going to try to press it off, flip it over and use the other side of the gears. I appreciate the ongoing discussion.

    Flywheel - 160 - 289 2v

    Flywheel I have had about 10 people, including the mechanic that I work with on my rebuilds tell me that there is no such thing as a 160 tooth - that is until I showed them - there IS such a beast, they WERE used in the early years. I will continue looking.

    67 Power Steering Pump

    67 trunk springs

    I just did mine I might be able to help you on this - but I need more information. I must replaced both the leaf springs and the shocks. Is this what you are refering to? If it is the shocks - stick with the regular or adjustable air shocks. I put heavy duty shocks on mine for a couple of...
