I am not sure what the manifold looks like relative to the choke well on a 1975 model. Photo might help....................................

What manifold have you decided to put on your car - show us a photo since to my knowledge, you will need to change it to one that will accommodate the AVS2 carburetor? Show us a photo please.

There is another member of this site that I know well and he lives in Long Beach, Ca and due to limited land space near beaches, he has to park some of his vintage cars on the street. He has had a few hit and runs and Hagerty treated him amazingly well and took care of things promptly, and he...

It will work with an AVS2 but you would leave half the benefits of converting to the AVS2 carburetor behind. The computer only controls the spark timing/advance and nothing else. Taking off the computer and replacing it with a distributor is way better so just get a competent guy with some...

The AVS2 carburetor does not have a port on it to operate an EGR valve, as far as I recall so you can just leave the EGR valve in place with no hose connected to it or remove it and place a steel cover/gasket over the opening and seal it up or just use an intake manifold from and earlier 1970-71...

I am not sure how you are interpreting what I said above to reach your conclusion. I am recommending you replace the lean burn carburetor with an Edelbrock AVS2 of 650 CFM and pull the "Lean Burn" computer off the car and replace it with an earlier distributor, like 70 or 71 model years for a...

There were no oxygen sensors on the lean burn vehicles since they were just mechanical devices back then too, but were calibrated to burn lean. All the lean burn computer really did was to control when the system added or subtracted any vacuum advance under certain operating conditions...

For a 400 cubic inch engine, 750CFM is too much - you would be better off with a 650 CFM. I would also get an earlier distributor from a 400 engine or 383 cu. inch. @halifaxhops will have a good one for you that will give you a lot more spark advance that will give much more lively...

I have written a lot about lean burn in the past on this site. I was there at the time they were developing that system and in short it was a disaster and was a very big part of the company going bankrupt circa 1980. One ivory tower intellectual convinced the chief engineer at the time that if...

Well, after a couple days of searching it appears none of the options for a molded hose has yielded results - all the Gates and other options have failed to yield the proper hose - like they have all been gone for some time now. I did find one of the Gates 20623 hoses but the seller wanted a...

Thanks folks for all the comments. It looks like I will go with the @ceebuddy and @Imperial Pete recommendations based on results with the latter's 1971 Imperial with sunroof that is beautifully restored to what looks to me like better than new. I was only able to find the Gates 20623 from...

I have not been able to find a molded lower radiator hose that actually fits on my 1971 Imperials from any source - many are claimed to fit my cars but none actually works. The ones I have tried will either interfere with the power steering pump or block the oil filter installation. Any...

I use the fiber gaskets (not cork) made by Felpro that are relatively thick (i.e. have a good amount of compressibility and I use a clear adhesive that brushes on easily and seals very well in short order. I will go out in my garage tomorrow and report on which one I was told to use by my...

This thread @ayilar is pertaining to the valve covers to top of head interface. What you are referring to is the exhaust manifold to head interface gasket. Those that you are showing though are great for that application and I use them as well with good results

As stated a couple times above, the real issue that is not necessarily readily apparent to many is to be sure adhesive such as 3M or similar is only applied to the interface of the valve cover gasket to the valve cover. If you apply sealant to the bottom of the valve cover gasket where it mates...

The booster looks to be correct in terms of dimensions for the 1971 C bodies although the originals didn't have a Bendix stamp in them as I recall. The problem as cited above is with the valve covers that are clearly aftermarket and too tall. Correct original valve covers for a C body with a B...

Hey John, I wrote about these some time ago and they are available at Accurate Exhaust Systems new. They aren't cheap but then again a car as extraordinary as yours deserves the best! https://www.accurateltd.com/C-Body-Hangers-muffler-and-tail-pipe_c_96.html I hope they are still available so...

Also, I have asked George to send me the first two reproductions that I needed so I can show the final product by itself and also one of them mounted to one of my two cars before I finalize the number of lenses that he would need to make. So if the prices have deterred anyone from buying the...

That certainly makes sense to me and if any other orders can be bundled, please let me know as anything that makes this shipping effort much easier would help all of us and George.

One other thought is to not order more than 3 of them at a time given the price reduction and if you get the them in a timely manner then go ahead and order more if you need more than three. This situation is what it is so don't make any gambles if you can't afford to lose the funds. You know...
