Everything I said was prefaced by “according to the ‘67 parts book”. I also didn’t concur with there being more single snorkel air cleaners for the 440 than what the parts book states.

All you could get in a ‘67 Imp was the “low horse” 440…

I currently have 2 ‘67 Imps so I’m well aware of what they look like and I also have a couple of spare ‘67 air cleaners from Imperials. Without having looked at any reference materials accept the ‘67 parts book I will say I don’t recall seeing a short round single snorkel air cleaner on a 440...

You know I have to say I use gaskets every time and haven’t experienced one failure or exhaust leak at the head…

Nope. At least not according to the ‘67 parts book. There were 2 versions of the single snorkel for the 440, w & w/out cap and thats it.

Actually by my second post I had 440 stuck in my head so if he needs a correct one for a 383 or one with 2 snorkels I can’t help. There’s only 2 part numbers for a 440 with single snorkel in 1967, with and without c.a.p..

I’ve got a set of valve covers in good condition and 1 extra ‘67 air cleaner that someone modified by adding an incorrect crankcase vent nipple.

Is he looking to be absolutely factory correct? Pristine parts?

If the valve is closed and there’s no pressure on the rocker they jiggle freely like that. Put the covers back on Post another video with a cold start.

Good luck on your search for pistons. I would just call my engine guy to have him source them for me so I have no suggestions but I’ll tell you that I recently had to buy pistons for a .030 over 440 and it was slim pickings as far as anything readily available. I’d ditch those 346s in favor of...

As far as the vehicles that took the damage they look to be all C’s and one Challenger.

So they used to sell other companies salvage and now they just sell their own scrap…

That is probably true and in fact I would say ‘67-‘73 is a safe bet. Might be some different mounting brackets but as long as you have your original you can change out brackets.

I was convinced of that immediately.

That’s a great price in spite of all of the lies and deceit, truely…
