I may be able to obtain a 3959512 327 for a very reasonable price. It is an early 327built around 63. I have been collecting 1966 L79 parts for quite a while but have not picked up an engine core yet. The 64-67 327 has a different casting # Does anyone know what the difference if any there is between these...

It appears that if a 66 Beaumont Sport Deluxe was ordered with a 396, the only engine available was a 360 horse.

On a sid...

I'm getting a rough low idle(fast idle is fine) and a real rich exhaust smell, so I blamed the carb and thought it was time to get a new one anyway. No change. Changed the points, plugs and wires a...

I put an AC Delco single plug alternator in last year and it was already making noises the last couple weeks. I've only put around 3000 miles on it so was a bit surprised even though it came out of Mexico. What else is out there?
