Hello, I am looking for the choke knob/cable assembly in good working condition for a car not the truck. Thank you, Chalupa

57/58 hoods have the ribs where 59/60's don't, but they will still fit.

My dads a Ford man, my grandfather was a Chevy man. It was always fun giving each other a hard time. My first car was an 73' El Camino and even though my dad didn't want me to get it he said ok the boys gotta learn a lesson some how. That car was a nightmare. Lesson learned!!! My second car...

I've got the larger 600. I ran this engine with ECZ-B heads which has smaller valves and used an 1850 Holley and it ran good, so I'm figuring with the better heads (which I'm still going to work over some) it will work fine.

They are the same.The replacement "113" heads had a larger 72cc chamber vs. the 69cc of the "G" heads. You can find all the info for these at ford-y-block.com

Hello all, I posted this over at the HAMB as well, but want as many opinions as possible. I'm planning on using a 4100 on my 292 Y-block. I've heard really good things about reliability. Just wanted to hear some input from people using them. Lets hear em. I need to add that the 292 has been...

More more more, love seeing pictures like these. Wish I had some to post.

I've got a C4 with the adapter from Mummert. Works good.
