Amen, HR6.
I suppose I'm getting a little ahead of myself. In the next couple of days I plan on painting my splash pan, core support and inner fenders with por-15 and por top coat. Hopefully within a week or so I'll have her running. The '57 Belair hood line is significantly lower than the '55 and '56. The offy is at least 3/4" taller than the stock manifold. I sure hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I'll have enough clearance without somekind of modification. I have corresponded with Don Curling, owner of a '57 Pontiac with a 235 equipped with multiple h/w's, and he told me he had to deck the offy manifold and modify the front motor mounts. I suppose I should quit blowing hot air and get down to business. Do any of you guys know where I can find a good dipstick tube for my 235?
thanks again,
shawn
