    WANTED Aluminum intake wanted for 361/383/400 B block

    ......... Thanks Tallhair, I found one on Evilbay at a price that was reasonable. An old Weiand from the 60's that has cast into it "Say Why-And " I got for a bit over $120. Looks to be nearly new or had very little use in it's years so I'm pretty happy with it. It probably doesn't flow as...

    Some ( or most ) 2 doors seem to have seats with a low dip in the middle of the seats at the top.I've bought 3 sets of NOS aftermarket seat covers for my 59 Dodge only to have them arrive and won't fit because of the dips in the top of the seat backs. Mine is just straight along the top. I'll...
