My friend Marvin told me that if i ever drove a 71 i'd fall in love with them and he was right, As far as looks go they are a little trickier to make look good I think. Have to get the colour and wheels right and shiny paint is important. If a 3rd gen is dull green or brown with F78X14's on it...

Mini starter makes this tons easier than the heavy oem unit. Mine came out of the bottom of my ‘71, meaning the front end of the car needed to be a bit high. Over this winter I’m going back to my oem manifolds.

it happened once, on the eighth try.......like an immaculate conception :D

I thought it was mom saying he made the earth move?

I have no idea…. I ASSUME stock mounts but really dont know…. My biggest issue is i cannot get on the cold concrete floor with 2 replacement knees and a bad back to handle this! Lol

And this is why I post on these forums. Good info

The major auto mfgs have not made ( or sourced ) flat tappets since the late 80's early 90's. The machines that make flat tappets are worn, the knowledge to quality check them has retired. It's the tappets.

Its going to depend on final drive and tire size but it should be more than 200rpm, example in photos below. Another option is the Passon Hemi OD trans. I currently am running one of these and have been mostly happy with it. With every option it seems like there is a compromise, TKX is big $$...

I'm using the 4 7/8 bs cl too. Fit great on my 69 rr, needs a small spacer on my 62. (65 8 3/4 rear?)

I measure 5/8" for the diameter inside the installed rubber grommet. I purchased the valve covers used/second hand so don't know the history of the grommet. From above responses, it seems I have the wrong grommet not the wrong PCV valve. I'll be looking into it further. Thank you.

Yes, I have p/s. I went all through that and didn’t see that information. Great.

The Mopar PCV measures more like 1/2". Mega Parts also has them, $5.00. #6

Yes, I know, painted headers. this purchase was primarily budget based as I am trying to get this car to where I can get it on the road. It currently has no exhaust. I would have liked to have gotten something a lot nicer but I have a pretty tight budget with what I am trying to do.
