The whole column assembly has to come out of the car, but it sounds more difficult than it actually is.

It's pretty simple in the end. There aren't that many parts inside the column, and nothing...

Easy rebuild on the early straight column.
Be very careful when removing the lower bearing assembly from the end of the tube.

My 2 cents on starters. You need a plain mini starter. The Summit starter is the one to get. I have had one forever, no issues. 166 $ and made by CVR. Multiple clocking positions.

I used SD's Old Faithful cam 236/245/112 in my last 455 at 11.3 to 1 compression. It was pretty "tame" at idle making 13.5" vacuum at 750rpm's with only 10 degrees initial timing. Fine on pump gas...

Corvettes we're built in The 10's of thousands with 4 wheel manual disc brakes starting in 65 and continued the trend with manual into the mid 70's. Power was an option.

7/8" master cylinder and go smaller (3/16") on brake line to the rear is my advice going manual. Manual works great when set up right.

A lot of factory cars had manual disc in the 60's till the mid 70's; Corvettes, Camaros, Firebirds, and especially Mustangs. I have hands-on converted several vehicles to...

I am trying to find my notes from 25 years ago in regards to the valve to piston clearance deal, but here’s what I recall off of the top of my head.

Not really because the 421 block has a pretty robust casting compared to the 389s. However that much overbore kind of diminishes the value to a certain extent. When I bought my 421 it was standard...

Absolutely not 421 pistons. The valve reliefs are completely different on a 421.

The valve reliefs and dish shown are what forged 428 replacement TRW/Sealed Power 12cc pistons all look like.

Standard bore size is 4.09375” for the 421.

4.120” is standard bore for the 428.

4.160” is +.040” for the 428 pistons so you’re poking that 421 .06625” over which seems excessive unless the...

The pin height will be the same. You would just have to be careful about running much lift if you used the 76 heads as the valve angles do not match up with the valve reliefs in the 428 pistons. I...

I've been really happy with the Eastwood manifold coating in spray cans. It lasted longer than the powder coating I had done and is easy to touch up if you need to.
