https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1567846437481136 I was looking at those myself, but I don't think they'll fit my 40 Ply, as is.

Thanks Loren. I called Jose at Globe Auto in Fowler, CA and he remembered you - he found 2 Windsors (one had a broken swaybar , so he pulled the other) It is as you said, a direct replacement for the skinnier stock bar.

Some of us are old enough that we just have to stand there and let it dribble.........we are accustomed to that........... 😛

Some of us are old and fat and won't be able to stand back up if they lean over that long, lol.

So the Mr Gasket ones from Summit ones arrived today and although they state 6-1/2 dia they actually measure 6-3/8. Perfect fit.

Stuck bolts, warped head, burnt valves, difficult to clean deposits in the chamber. Sounds about right? Flatheads are rather very simple to work with, some people even carry a gasket with them as a spare part. later: oh yes, clogged coolant drain at the bottom of the block 😅

Off topic here, I suppose, but to tap holes in aluminum I use a block of canning wax, just run the tap on that a bit. (I have tapped hundreds of 6-32 holes in 16 gauge aluminum sheet, and I can easily do 4 or 5 holes without the tap clogging up and stripping out the hole. Maybe more, but it's easier to be safe than try to fix the hole after stripping it out.)

Los - any stock mopar electronic slant six distributor will work (1972 - 1980's) except for a lean burn type. You reuse the lower shaft from the flathead, and the upper mechanical advance sleeve (if you will) from the slant distributor, that slips over the lower shaft. In addition you re-use the slant's breaker plate, vacuum advance etc. Most challenging part is turning down the body of the dist. to fit in the block. More succinctly think of it as reusing the slant dist., with the lower shaft from the flat head dist.

That looks like the hydraulic transmission (fluid drive is something else):

Isn't that just the regular deceleration misfire noise? If I recall correctly, it might be running too rich, and the un-burnt fuel is popping in the exhaust. Is your carb well adjusted, including the accelerator pump?
