Re: Flathead powered Camaro
The first photo looks like an 8BA with 4 carbs. The second photo looks like a 59AB with 3 carbs. Perhaps he had different engines in the car at different times. As a Flathead enthusiast and a first...

Re: An alternator discussion
Also, that double female DA connector that plugs into the alternator should be very easy to find at most parts stores. I know I have bought them in the past. You do not have to have the plastic...

Re: An alternator discussion
If you are going to use an internally regulated alternator, I would suggest saving yourself a lot of money and picking one up from your local parts store. Fifth Ave Garage is asking $245 for a 63 amp...

Re: Radiator hoses, 8BA in a 36
