Correct me if I'm wrong but that looks to be a Coronet 500. I would more likely go in the 500 direction than the R/T direction. This is all just the way I see it. Good luck selling it.

Think I made the statement that my rockers are factory originals. If you want to accuse people on this forum of being lazy, dumb or ignorant, find another forum. Your politics don't give you the right to talk to anyone here that way, if you can't respect who you are talking to, take it some...

Seems like a lot of work. I can't imagine what that would cost now. For plastic I guess one could now be 3d printed. I don't know what it would cost to get either chromed.

Well it all goes back to what you plan to use it for. If you is just an everyday driver worrying about that little bit of geometry will never be noticed in seat of the pants. That also goes for the high lift extreme ramp cams. If you are looking for driveability and dependability your cam will...

I always wanted to know how dealers got these made? Some are just plastic but some are metal and had been chrome plated.

I picked up a set of factory arms at the swap meet a few months ago at MOParty. I gave $225 and I'm missing 1 spring. Mancini has these. I had been watching to come across a set for a couple years. I did a lot of research and if you're not racing and it's only a street engine ductile iron is...

Edelbrock may own them both but they may not be getting their blanks from the same vendor. It seems no one much had this lobe problem before they took zinc out of oil. You woudl only see a wiped lobe on a 100,000 mile engine. now it seems too many don't make it past break in. Has me thinking...

LOL, I'm now 65 and I had a QQ1 '68 RoadRunner when I was in high school and up untill I read about the color numbers recently I had always thought the entire number was the code for the Blue alone. Never stop learning.

I've seen people run .500 lift without an issue on no relief flat tops but it does have to be in time. The Crower 271HDP was one of the most popular cams to run in a stock or near stock BBM and the lifts are both aproaching .500 and I've never heard of anyone bending a push rod due to a valve...

You dip stick will work perfect for this.

Wow, don't think if it was mine I could sell it. Good luck with it.

Looks like they beat Manicini to it.

That's nice. I'll be happy when I get my car to that point.

Well, as I said I have read that is what the code represents. I didn't have any reason to disagree with it because it worked for my car but I see your point. Maybe it is Roof 1st and then body and that may well be the case. One thing is for sure, it is Blue and White and 2 tone. Here is a page...

Probably so, I've read Q is '68 only but I can't prove that but I do know it was the last year for it. Post pics when you're done.
