Chevelle updates

[RPOLS3]

So..........after numerous unreturned e-mails and phone calls over the last couple of months I finally was able to reach the rebuilder today. Turns out he can't get the valve to stop leaking and thinks there is an issue with the casting not being good. He also thinks now he has another core available that he can use and hopefully will have things finished up in a week or so. Should know in a couple of days. If he can't source a replacement casting I think I am going to move on and buy the brass one that is currently available from the parts houses and try and get this thing back on the ground and ready for the spring.

Well, that stinks, Jake. Sorry to hear this. Just when you think you've found a solution, this comes up.
The brass valve should be a direct replacement to use while you keep hunting for a good, original, core.
