gks1964 Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 I thought that was what it was. . I do have a PL Charger and was looking at that piece earlier, I needed someone such as you to clarify! Before making a mistake. Thanks Tim.

gks1964 Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 I couldn't take the look of the first oil pan I built, so I remade! Think this looks much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gks1964 Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Actually got something accomplished today in between casting parts. I fitted the oil pan 2.0 to the block and front cover to make sure all fits The bottom of the block needed flattened out for the surfaces to mate properly. Also removed the oil pump and oil filter, will be replaced by new parts. Edited April 3, 2020 by gks1964 addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gks1964 Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 Anyone know of a source of small throttle return springs? I used to have some but I can't find them. Gerald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) I usually make them myself, take a very thin wire and coil it tightly around a piece of a thicker wire, stretch it out a bit and make a loop at a right angle at both ends and you are done, takes about 5 minutes to do. Here is one I did. Edited April 8, 2020 by Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also added the seat frame, rear firewall and fire bottle brackets. I've been try to build some upper control arms, with mixed results!

gks1964 Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 One last test fit of the engine! Tim's advice about checking the fan clearance of the front frame member is real tight. Take his advice and check, recheck and double check! He also advised to leave the front engine cage bar off until the engine is installed, that is spot on. Thanks Tim great advice.

I may build another carb and cast it for the future. If anyone is interested here's a drawing of the 426 firing order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) It looks like your carburetor is based on the Revell/Monogram carburetor from the Pro Stock kits and I must say that I don't like them that much. I have been around Holley Dominators plenty and they doesn't really look like the Revell/Monogram carbs wich I think are quite crude, there are much better ones around. But...this one will be under an air box so it might not be that visible. Edited May 1, 2020 by Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
