    1968 4300 Carburetor

    Question - I see these numbers on the tag, but I don't see anything on the actual Carb. Did I miss them? Is there an easy way to identify the carb (i.e. maybe wrong tag, or missing tag). thanks david

    1968 Lower console parts question

    Couple guys interested, got another call today. We will see what happens. Best case for a sale, though, might be to put the 302 back in and sell the 393 separately. The console price is too good to pass up, assuming I get all the correct pieces.

    1968 Lower console parts question

    I have thought about adding a lower console at some point and have located a guy that has a few of them. My questions are: 1) Is there a document anywhere detailing out all the individual pieces/components? 2) Which parts are the most difficult to get (i.e. need to make sure they are...
