very cool setup...would love to see pics of the car...my father had a 64 Impala...only problem it was a 283/powerglide station wagon [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img]</div></div>

It's the return gas line, Chevrolet started putting those on the 409 motors in 1963

Well....times have changed, that glass settling bowl probably was the safest thing going either but back in those days everything from combines and tractors to automobiles had them

Good point!! I guess we are safer now with seat belts, airbags, GPS, traction control, ABS, AWD, unleaded gas, rearview cameras, radial tires, Onstar, smart phones, etc...

Makes you wonder how we ever got along before [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img]
