    68 Polara Cluster Removal

    Hi! I've got my gauge cluster out. It felt like a risky venture pulling it. I did drop the steering column down. Also, iremoved the adjacent bezel panels.

    383 Intake install

    I'm installing the original cast iron intake back on my 383. I bought a valley gasket and some fiber gaskets that were listed as needed to go with it. I have two questions. First, are the fiber gaskets optional or necessary. My past experience w GMs makes me think they are optional? Also, the...
