It's where I and many of the contributors here get them. www.stoveboltengineco.com 1953 Chevy 5-window 3100 In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Picturetrail Dave Engine & Driveline Moderator If you can't make seventy by an easy road, don't go. ~~ Mark Twain

Might have to move the wires around on cap to allow the vacuum canister to fit properly. Last edited by EdPruss; 07/16/2012 12:11 PM.

One from a 292 and such is easily adapted to fit, but it can almost be a tight fit against the pushrod cover. If your looking for one that looks a bit more original, one of the adapted s-10 2.8L ones looks a little more appropriate. Jeff My 1953 Chevrolet 1947.1 Gallery 1972 C-10 1/2 Ton & 1972 C-30 1 Ton
