I'll have to look into that. I have access to a borescope and with the tailpipe off, I can look inside. I like Flowmasters, too. When I had the 2 1/4" pipes, I had Flowmasters on it and I ran them for about 15 years. I love the sound and get lots of good comments on the way it sounds.

I've had Flowmasters on my '68 Bee (383 car) for a few years. All new 2 1/2 " TTI pipes with 40 Series Flowmasters. In the last few months, I've noticed a change in the tone on the drivers side at about 2K RPM. That has always been the point where I get the drone, but now it's kind of a sharp...

I like that idea about the clay. Didn't think about that but I have some around here that I used to check piston/valve clearance when I built that engine. Thanks, great idea and much neater than prussian blue.

When installing a new manifold, how do you check that the manifold is properly seated, with full contact, on the head? I've used prussian blue and it's okay but I was wondering if anyone had a better method. Ed: Yes, I meant intake manifold

here's mine

Sadly, I learned that Ken Montgomery passed away. Ken's '555' (triple Nickel) '65 Plymouth was well known and respected in the northeast. Anyone who had the privilege to meet Ken, met one of the nicest guys in drag racing. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

That's a really neat car and I like it a lot. I think the 392 is really a cool idea. I love to see someone who has done something a little different. Very nice car, Sir!

Not mine but I thought someone might be interested. Saw these on Craigslist (South Jersey) and these were too cool. Had to post this: http://southjersey.craigslist.org/atq/3410241941.html

I was also very fortunate. I live about 30 miles west of the southern new jersey coast. The 'eye' of the storm passed directly over us so we got the 'front side' and 'back side' winds. Bad enough, to create some minor flooding and wind damage. On the southern jersey coast there is much damage...

Welcome Pete. I live in Millville. At least I do today...hoping that Frankenstorm will not put South Jersey under water

Nice big block car. Always nice to start with a rust free car..if it is.

I've also purchased tools from him. Well made, useful tools that are reasonably priced. He has a website: http://www.custommachinecomponents.com

I'd ship 'em too. Too many possibilities to have problems. Is there a way to ask TSA or the airline?

Always enjoy seeing another '68 Bee. Nice find. Good luck with it and please keep us posted.

At any given show or cruise, someone will walk around my '68 Super Bee and ask what it is. After all it only has big decals on the side that say "SUPER BEE". When I say it's a 'Super Bee', 9 out of 10, will say something about it not having a wing on the back. Noooooo.... that's a Super Bird...
