    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?

    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.

    Years ago, four seasons used to make them. I remember getting them at parts stores

    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.

    I think I have one but would have to check when I get home.
