Re: Dedicated Day 2 Thread
How's this for a day two vibe? Lol... Ya, ya. I know... First car. I bought it with ~20k on the clock. Old lady had blown the 301 somehow. I bought it for a few hundred dollars in absolutely pristine condition. I picked up a 400 out of a 76 Grand Prix at my buddies local bone yard and threw it in over the winter. Boat anchor? Yes. Fun as hell at 16 with a custom bent dual exhaust? Hell ya! I had Keystones on it.

Had a friend in high school that inherited his Dad's Buick Special similar to this red Buick in the picture..
We pulled the v6 and installed a beefed up 350 Buick motor and it ran pretty well.. Rich |

This past weekend I caught up with a couple of old racers from back in that era and was asking about the 'Tuff A Nuff' Cuda. Apparently it is still with the original owner and has been repainted back to the original color. That car has never been registered, hence never driven on the street. The mileage is purportedly less than 1K... I also speak regularly to the original owner of the Camaro and he says he could hear the 'Tuff A Nuff' Cuda catching him on the top end and would fly by him at the finish line. Interesting stories to say the least. |

Glad I stumbled on this thread too... As many here know, I came very close to selling my 67 L78 Chevelle. I was trying to buy a friend of mine's car but the deal fell through so I decided to keep my Chevelle. With that being said, I'm sure glad I kept it! I decided to pull the trigger, after contemplating whether to do so for a year, and do some very light Day 2 mods. I'm sure most purists thing doing something like this to such a perfect stock specimen is blasphemy but it's my car and it's what I like. The headers are NOS Appliance Units which fit without any modifications other than a small dimple to the #3 tube for steering shaft clearance and a mini starter for more starter clearance. I painted them with white stove paint from Dampney Products. This stuff works great, in my experience, much better than white ceramic coating if you follow the instructions. I also needed to change some of the spark plug boots for better header clearance so I decided to use an NOS set of SS550 wires I had in the parts department. The exhaust system was custom made by a local shop, Allied Muffler in Bellflower, CA, and utilized Dynomax Ultraflo Mufflers. I found a beautifully restored set of original American Racing Torq Thrust Ds, also known as "Crows". 15x6 in the front and 15x7 for the rear. The lips are polished and the spokes painted gold, which really makes the gold interior pop! I went with Kelsey Tire Polyglas GTs. E60s up front and G60s out back. I also added a pre '71 Hurst Competition Plus Shifter.... what an improvement over the stock unit! I rejetted the original 3910 Holley with 72 primary jets and 80 secondary jets and a secondary block off. I installed the yellow vacuum diaphragm spring. All in all the car is much more fun to drive! The sound is incredible and way more power! These L78s really benefit from a set of headers and good flowing exhaust

Your '67 is so cool!! The butternut, the crows, the square flange headers, all are stuff I'd do to a super rare L78 and never apologize! I've been looking for a set of real nice vintage AR 15x7s, the deep spoke version that'll match my 15x6s. I've got the crows, same sizes as yours, and wondered how they'd sit in the wheelhouse.....you've just put my eyes at ease! I'm going that route, and really really glad I hadn't sold the crows, as I had them advertised with no interest. Thanx!!......this is for my '69 300 post sedan L78.

Here is the link! You need to break this paint in as well... You cannot break an engine in or break in a cam with a freshly painted set. I did everything the video states, except the powder coat oven. I used this paint on my Camaro headers and it has held up very well. Good luck! |

Chuck, the link went to "engine paint" and there is another link to "stove paint". It appears they may be the same product, but I just want to be clear on which you used, please.

Yes, that link takes me to you tube and at the bottom of the comments there is a link to the Alvin products page for engine paint.
