GMC dual intake Tom Langdon may even have one. I sold one to him several years back, a Nicson, I believe.

Chroming expense If you can get those five bars chromed for anywhere near what a repop grill costs ($400 or so), I'll be really surprised.

Mariner blue I grew up with a Mariner Blue AD and it doesn't get any more Mariner than this. Your monitor is fine, Nate. It's my favorite for sentimental reasons. Also my original grill is chrome I think...pretty scratched up though.

Stuck something Holley/Weber 2bbl carbs? I'd be taking 5 minutes to pull the top off to see exactly what is going on in there.

That's nice Damon, Pretty nice to see a frame in that kinda shape. Just personal preference, but have you thought about powder coating (instead) after fixing all the little stuff? Sure looks great!

Low pressure 235 Check out this site and note the smooth contour between the 1st and 2nd plugs. http://pugetsoundvintagechevrolet.org/Programs/6%20cylinder%20engines%20with%20photos.pdf

I have an electric choke on mine and it works great, but it's no big deal to put on a manual one if that's what you want.

2bbl I use a setup from Tom Langdon and I like it very well. http://stoveboltengineco.com/

Wow! Very, very cool, Ken! You'll be having lots more fun with that I'm sure. Bob

Fender Here's one if you hurry. Assuming it is factory correct as I know nothing about these...

Useful info Excellent site, thanks!

If it ain't broke... This forum works better than any other one I've ever seen. It isn't full of trashy ads and interruptions that have to be continually closed. It doesn't crash on you or make you start over all the time. Count your blessings Nate!

Hmmm...that sure sounds right. Don't understand what the adapter thing is that Larry has though. Have to give Patrick's a call and maybe get these units reading accurately. Thanks lots! Bob

Driven gear? Looked on Patrick's site and what I see is an adapter and then a gear set. I'm assuming Larry is using the adapter. Are you saying Patrick offers a change in the driven gear (cable to tranny gear) that will work without changing the drive gear? Thanks, Bob

Problem solved That's good Nate...some of that bright green stuff should work well.
