Thank you for your quick reply. I can see I have major problems with the trunk area. Someone has replace the floor and it looks like it is too narrow at the bottom. My trunk lid is over lapping the guards at the bottom. The rear c pillar at the bottom does it flare out at the bottom toward...

Looking for a photo of the C pillar. The shape of the pillar at the bottom where it joints the running board and rear guard. Also a good photo of the trunk when it is closed. Thanks

Thanks JWL the size is just what am looking for. Not sure about the cam bearing. But the cam fits and rotates ok.

Can anyone give me the size of the push rod bush hole in the block on 59A bush looks really thin need to punch it out.

I would have to agree with flatjack9 to loose this much water it would show in the oil or out the exhaust. If it was a combustion leak then the TK would be yellow real quick. Check the radiator cap is sealing inside the radiator neck if not sealing you will get a siphoning effect while driving...

Pressure to light for reverse 180 - 200psi is about right. Check out your valve body is assemble correctly. The compensation valve spring pressure controls pressure at idle maybe assemble wrong. Throttle modulator valve applies pressure to the compensation valve when accelerating to increase...

Has anyone used the Speedway 4bbl manifold on a 59A. What did you think?

I am also looking at intake manifolds for my 59A trying to decide which is better. What are the problems fitting a 4bbl carb to this engine? Which is best 4bbl or twin carbs?

Fit the lip of the seal to the crown wheel. You need to stop oil getting in to the drum bearing.
