I bought a few cans of the Bill Hersch to do a better set of valve covers after my engine was painted with the Mopar turquoise. It wasn't even a close match and the paint quality (rattle can) was terrible. It took so many coats to cover and 1 can was a dud it only sprayed clear no idea what...

I do run a larger aux trans cooler. 255/60/15 on the rear. I just found a complete 489 case in a c body at the wrecker with 2.76's so it got me thinking but I felt it wasn't going to be too happy.

I keep wanting to do some longer highway trips in my Belvedere. I have 3.23's which aren't terrible but though maybe 2.76's would be better for a long trip. My concern is my 2800 RPM stall, is this just going to make a ton of heat? I had thoughts on a Gearvendor OD but the same question remains.

What has everyone used for a center support post in their hood scoops? I have an R0/WO style scoop on my 67' Belvedere. Its fine except on single lane highways when a semi blows by me the other way it sure make that scoop flutter more then I like.

To revive an old thread does anyone have pics of the 73-76 A-body reservoir in a 67 b-body? I'm looking for a new reservoir after changing to a 26" rad from a 22" so my old aluminum one wont fit.

If I can find one that isn't worn out as bad its an option.

Does anyone reproduce vent window handles? My drivers handle is worn down enough that it causes an annoying whistle, I can see where it has had a groove worn in it. Not sure that any form of epoxy would hold up if I was to fill it in.

Blades half in. If I stay moving I can drive it all day no issue. When I hit stop and go it starts to creep 2 or 3 lights and it'll be at 210, once I get moving it will slowly come back down.

I have a 22" aluminum rad from Wizard cooling (which was it's own **** show). It's a 2 core with the bigger tubes. I've had the traffic heating issues (210 with stop and go) with 2 different 440's the current is built and dyno'd @ 520 hp I've tried multiple different clutch type mechanical...

I was hoping it might be a cheaper solution but kind of figured it wouldn't be the magic bullet for idling in traffic. Waiting to hear back from Glen-ray as well may be time for a 26" rad.

I didn't want to hijack another thread about overheating. I see that the smaller hemi water pump pullet has been mentioned a few times and I looked into it but they want an arm and a leg for the thing. Has anyone tried CVF or March's "high flow" pulley? They keep the stock sized water pump...

Looking for a nice set of the 67" 440 factory chrome valve covers.

Looks for a set of the tall DC valve covers for a 440. Looking for the stock looking ones without the logo

Was hopeing for a cheaper alternative/answer as those are $230 bucks Canadian plus shipping, brokerage etc. Does anyone have a stock valve cover they can measure the inside height from the mounting surface to the baffles?

Does anyone run stock valve covers on a 440 with Edelbrock heads and Hughes rockers? I have some no name stamped valve covers that are slightly taller but they won't stop leaking. I think the shape is slightly off on them as all the gaskets I've tried never fit the corners very well.
