The drivers side is the tall one, on all 64-72 Pontiac A bodies.

Looks familiar, I'm waiting on my block, crank rods, and my heads. IT'S KILLING ME!!! I'm trying to use the down time to detail my engine compartment/frame and stuff but motivation is down without a powerplant. Did you convert from power brakes? I would like to do that to my T/A.

I had to modify the mounting flange on the MC, as the Mopar style bolt pattern is slightly more narrow. I just drilled and filed the holes carefully to fit. I had to bend lines for the proportioning valve. I still need to fab a mounting bracket for the valve, but yeah, that's about it. The Wilwood unit was nice because it cam with the pushrod, so I didn't have to make one. I reused the clevis, and moved the pushrod to the upper hole on the pedal arm. I have not been to the track yet, but I'll report. Cost was about $115.00 or so for the MC.

From the picture I figured the tall one is on the drivers side,and thinking about it seems to make sense that way.Helps clear the steering shaft slightly, maybe...
Thanks all around there folks,still rounding up a few loose ends for both of mine and working on my brothers 68 ranchero GT 390 too.Here's to good luck and hope that everyones projects go well! |

Yeah the Dominators do look pretty tough but for all practical purposes I'm probably going to have to cut them loose so I can get something that will work better on a mild 440" motor. I really hate to because they look cool. Thanks Greg |

Thanks Fast72! I'll let you know. I'll be attacking the plumbing thing for the first time, and I'm sure I'll have questions!

GTOJEFF, The headers are Headman Hussler 2" tube for 64-67 A-Body, Flamin, those two Dominators on the blower look awesome, Darin, let me know if you need a hand. I'm also parting a 69 Lemans if you need anything.

Thanks for posting the pic,I was wondering which side the taller engine frame mount went on.I have to install the frame mounts in my 70 race car and was not sure,they had a BBC in it before and I did'nt remember which side they came off of the donor car(its frame was cut up like a jigsaw puzzle.I got you beat too,I have two lonely engine bays,but only for a short time.First the lemans/GTO racecar.
