Something intriguing to me in this photo is the body ground connection at the rear of intake. I always thought originally it was secured to the larger tapped hole in head above. Also does the throttle cable bracket U shaped portion for kickdown linkage on automatic cars appear to have been dipped in a rubberized like coating? I see traces of it under the turquoise paint. Thanks!
That's what I think, although not much left, I'd think the paint dripped down. perhaps the tube/stick weren't put in at painting? alot can happen in 55 years.
Very cool...I am missing that carb tag on my 3611..can you post that number? I will be sending it to Harms for restoration here in about 2 weeks. Thanks!
Every one I've ever seen in my 40+ yrs. of messing with the early big blocks that bracket is dipped in rubber, also the dip stick was painted! I've seen the tube painted and also bare with the end with overspray at the block end!
Do the 3 heater box mounting nuts appear to have been yellow zinc dichromate or black zinc? Does the throttle cable hold down clamp appear not to have been painted?
Def diff between LH & RH. LH has one closed hole mounting tab where the RH are both open. Bend on one side is diff on both. This one from my 64 Sport Fury 426-S
I found that under a 34,000 77 Cordoba with a 400 as well. Another "heat shield" Was your distributor hold down un painted?
