[Chevelle-List] SBC intake replacement bolt length

On a different list I was involved in a thread about the length of SBC intake manifold bolts. According to David Vizard they're 1.25 long but a friend of mine learned the hard way that some aftermarket intakes aren't as thick around the bolt holes, and that can lead to pushrod interference:

when I swapped intakes (stock cast iron to aftermarket holley contenderaluminum ) I bought an intake bolt set for aftermarket aluminum intakes, first thing I noticed was the length difference. just my 2 cents worth Bill B. 67 Malibu Edmond Oklahoma http://groups.msn.com/SpidrManspics

Actually without the heads and everything else I removed, it was pretty light, considering. All there was to lift was the smallblock, crank, pistons, and the minor internals. I'm poor here, gimme a break, and the weather was foul here in Alaska, in the middle of December, so I was forced to do

I can relate to that a little bit. I built my 406 short-block in my basement over the winter a couple years ago and getting it out to the garage took some ass-busting. I believe I still have both testicles, though! There were three of us to get it outside. -Dave -Original Message-

Re: [Chevelle-List] Frame

I've used por-15 on a multitude of things, and I love the stuff... it goes a long way, just be sure not to pour out too much at one time, as it thickens fairly fast... also, do not dip the brush directly into the container... it will contaminate the rest of the por-15 and render it

RE: [Chevelle-List] Rich Edelbrock Carb

Always keep the #5 and #7 wires routed away from each other. The cylinders are next to each other and they are so close to each other in the firing order that an inductive pulse from the #5 wire can cause a spark in the #7 cylinder, firing both 5 and 7 at the same time. Waay early for the #7

Title: Message Charles, try using about a 12 inch long stout screw driver or small pry bar. The bolts that get threaded to the balancer should give you a little room between the plate and the balancer after the bolts bottom out. Once you have taken up all the slack with the center bolt place

Wayne: The fuel pump is stock, and I checked it last year when I had a fuel starvation problem, so I think it's ok. I know at least one of the advance mechanisms is working (mechanical or vacuum) since I can see the spark advance on the timing light when I rev it, but I think I'll test

Bill: The car is not nearby, but the pictures I took of the engine show that #5 and #7 are close to each other in the wire loom, then cross near the cap. How far apart should they be? Would the spacing of a typical wire loom be enough, or should there be at least a wire in between?

I used a brush on mine. Came out even and shiny, no brush strokes. No over spraymess but a few drops on the floor. I wore gloves Stuff gets on your skin and it has to wear off in a matter of days unless you get it off while it's still wet. Hand cleaner or thinner while wet is the only way.
