That appears to be an early Holley and I doubt that it has power valve blow out protection. I would strongly advise that you install the blow out kit during rebuild. And just out of curiosity what is the number on the metering block? A 650 is 4777.

Yep, I had planned on it already. You're right. It's 4777 on the metering block.Quote:

I think you probably mean Gearhead Enterprises, Bobby. They sell a lot of streetrod parts on ebay. Gear Vendors makes a really pricey overdrive unit for various vehicles.Quote:

I got my springs from them for the MII and I'm going to get my tubular control arms from them to. I'm going to wait on the cross member unless I run in to a money hole. You won't be able to see that ugly cross member once that Hemi is in there any way. LOL (Hopefully) Ha Ha
I also ordered a torque converter and some gaskets from Napa. Gathering pieces here and there where I can. We're expecting a new addition in the next few days, so I can't start working on the car for a little while.
I ordered some gaskets for the hemi and a torque converter for the trans last week. Today I ordered my engine mounts. Slowly but surely. I have to set a time to get started on this. Summer is right around the corner and I miss driving it already!
Last week I ordered some mounts for the Hemi, and last weekend I got a new gas tank for it as well. No progress yet though.
You're spending money! That's progress!!!:LOL::LOL:Quote:

That would be fairly easy to duplicate with a piece of 20ga. and a 5" hole saw....
True, but I'd like to try to have the contours in the metal too.Quote:

I ended up buying a billet one off ebay for my 48 Ford, it was a lot less expensive, but just fit the gauge cluster.
Or you could cut a peice of sheet metal like dave said and put these around the edges...........
