Thank you everyone for the replies.

WTB truing accessory for refacing wheel, also anything related to fluid pump and wheel shield/catch basin assy.

1. Does the valve turn opposite rotation from the grinding wheel?
2. Do they turn in the same direction but at difference speeds?
3. Is there any problem using VR-1 AND Lucas break in additive for initial start?

1. Does the valve and grinding wheel turn in opposite directions or the same direction and different speeds ?
2. Will using VR1 and Lucas Break-in additive together cause any problems?

FWIW. Back when I knew little but thought otherwise I assembled an AMC 360/390 with PAW (long gone Performance Automotive Warehouse) parts. It had a nearly inaudible tick at idle. After several attempts to locate the issue my upset friend took it to a professional for diagnosis. The results were poo...

Sad state of affairs it is. Hopefully the six that had the correct answer will follow through with their desire. We as a country desperately need people for all trades.

I am 68 yo and the change in our education system I have seen makes me sad and concerned for the generations to come. The youth is pushed thru school with little regard for the end product. It seems the mentality is that if you can't reach the bar we will lower it for you. The case in point, I know ...

C/50-60 and school bus manifolds have a very tall carb mounting pad and are outlawed by some stock car tracks possibly indicating an unfair advantage. I and many others have sought for and used the "CANADIAN" (letters cast into a runner and very visible) intake. Great on the dyno and track.

I had a Chevette cam reground by a company called Elgin. I believe the owners name is Dema. Wonderful service and a very nice, good performing cam .I believe they grind for all engines.

Engines are out but far away at my son's. This is a pair out of a boat. One each left and right rotation. Block casting number is 3858174, Mortec lists it as 1964-67 327(does have 3.25 stroke x 4.00 bore 2 bolt main) will get more info. Just curious as to GMs intended use was, car, truck, dedicated ...

Pad stamp is F06302AQ. I found most of the information but the AQ is nonexistent in my research. SBC,327,1964-67 casting #,462 heads. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am changing a 1997 5.0 engine from injected to carbureted
1. will the 302 fuel pump eccentric fit on the roller cam ?
2. will the mechanical fuel pump compatible 302 timing cover fit the 5.0 oil pan ?
3. will a 302 timing set fit ?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Back in "the day". 66 Fairlane w/427FE I ran an electric fuel pump and hooked the mechanical pump backwards to a valve cover. Don't know if it helped but got a lot of questions and copiers

I guess that during these trying times anything that helps you keep your head on straight is a big plus. Having said that I sure miss the days of the non cookie culler bodies, big block engines, and drivers with a genuine personality.

Where I live, a small coastal New England town, it is always slow in the winter. I see little to no change. It is 12 miles to the nearest supermarket. Once there you see no difference until your inside. Even then pretty normal until you pass the tissue isle....empty. What an odd sight, almost movie ...
