  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    I have been getting “delete donuts” from hector, but he is out of them. The one on this car is toast. What are my options?

    Daves69 Too many cars too work on

    Mine is still working.

    I would suggest finding a better one and gut it.
    Still would look correct for concourse.

    That is a tough part to find in decent shape, all the ones I came across look all beat up and pitted. I thought there was a company that made one for a Buick or something close that would work and look correct possibly for a 455? I have to check my old notes to see if I can come across anything.

    Adam,
    I will be following your comments on this to see if it works and fits with the 69 manifolds. Otherwise, I will use one of the donuts I bought a few years ago. Tony

    Well, it LOOKS like it’ll work. Not sure about the location of the swing weight…will have to wait until I assemble the engine for that. But it’s dimensionally the same on bore and bolt pattern.
