    4 BBL Air Cleaner base for A12 Hood ?

    I wouldn't mind one of those also. The dilemma would be - would it fit with and Indy single plane intake.

    Does the Glass hood have a cowl seal

    What make is that ?? If its a VFN, measure all the hood latch holes versus a stock hood. My VFN has the holes so far off the hardware is unusable - had to go with pins. And VFN's response to the issue - adjust the grill support. Well you know that ain't possible !!!

    Real 6 pack hood?

    Just my 2 cents ... the originals were not pretty - a crude mold and cranked out as fast as the resin would set up. But they are what they are and there was a limited number and thus the high value of what is otherwise a piece of ****. But many were damaged and while sheet metal can be worked...

    What kind of affect on value does a replacement block have on value

    Those guys should never be used in the equation. They usually have deeper pockets than the average guy and will pay ridiculous money for a car they want. A few years later they're bored with dusting the cars off and they're liquidating at a fraction of the cost.

    What kind of affect on value does a replacement block have on value

    There was a knock-dead gorgeous a12 RR at Carlisle last year - virtually identical to yours. Same deal - not numbers matching block. Didn't seem to be affecting the asking price. For all I know maybe you bought that car !!

    What kind of affect on value does a replacement block have on value

    I suppose it all depends on the buyer. Personally I believe a car is only original once. So a "survivor" with a different block would have less value than if it had the original. On the other hand, a "restored" car could be a complete re-body so big deal if the block got swapped too. Just my...

    What’s the only or easiest way?

    If you don't want them anymore, drill a hole into each threaded portion and put in a piece of rod. You should only have to turn it a bit to break them loose. Stuff a wad of cotton in first if you're worried about metal chips in the bowls.

    A12 Aluminum intake manifold restoration

    At the Detroit Autorama a few years back I was admiring a BEAUTIFUL 32 Deuce and mentioned the fact I liked all the "raw" aluminum (blower, valve covers, etc) and asked how they got it all looking the same consistent color. The owner's wife said he ran it all through the dishwasher WITH...

    A12 Aluminum intake manifold restoration

    Needle scalers don't get into all the nooks and crannies AND they don't do a very good job of duplicating the original finish. In fact, I've never seen anything yet that could produce that "as cast" look. The closest I ever came was on an original unmolested max wedge crossram that was only...

    question about a wiper motor

    Do you have a 2 or 3-speed wiper motor ??? There is no clearance for a 2-speed, you need to use a 3-speed.
