Wow, 100 tons!!. Best I have in my garage is 30 tons. And while I have a great bearing splitter that's about it for accessories so far. I'll PM you later.
Thanks all for your help and encouragement. Here's some more intake related stuff.
Here's the stove pipe elbow part number 481991 for the right side of the engine. Should be original. They are a bit thicker metal than the reproductions that I've held.
Here's one you might call BS on me about, but this car when I got it, had a thin lip shaker scoop. I know there was some carryover from 1970 and it says some of that in the assembly manual but I couldn't find the section I was looking for yet. It seems to be in nice shape. No cracks. Getting close to ready for paint, but now I was reading how Mr. Norwood redoes those, too. Well, take a look.
Part number molded into the underside 481689
The flapper door works very smoothly.
Do you think some repair work done here? Seems like a lot of sealer.
A hole on the trailing edge that I believe is for the ground strap that runs to the firewall.
The old seal is still in decent shape. It's got a bit of overspray on the backside but is still very pliable. I could probably bend it into a figure 8 if I wanted to.
Part number molded into it. 481697
Yes, pliable enough for a figure 8...
Air cleaner top lid has been blasted and painted. Too shiny? This is part of 6486669
Underneath side
One of 2Manys favorite parts. The 481991 pipe. I primed this after blasting to keep it from flash rusting. What was the thought on the finish for these tubes?
This is visually the same duct as 479482 and 483652 but is the replacement 9797496 part. It should fil the void.
Here's a 479212 elbow with the flat at the bend for clearance.
And an original with tower clamp. I'll try to get a close up of that later but it is a 2 5/8" Wittek with a 4/70 date on it. That's about the oldest thing I've seen on it yet.
Not positive that is original.
The old heat riser shroud. I've had some of these parts replated by a local cad shop (twice now) but they always start to turn a light green over time. Maybe I need a new cad plater.
And the shroud from passengers stove.
The 3959115 Switch Assembly for the shaker flapper activation.
And the 9788460 Clip (same as 9796744) to hold the switch to the bracket.
More soon.....
