Need spark plug heat shields

[Davews]

Haven't bough parts in a while but need some now. Having my Polara 500 440 gone through and regasketed but need correct exterior bolts and also all the correct spark plug heat Shields. Does any one sell these kits other than year one?

Hoffman's makes all the shields. Here's their guides for placement.

Ignition Wire Bracket Installation Guide Page 1
Ignition Wire Bracket Installation Guide Page 2

Pick out the correct kit from them and do some googling and searching eBay with the part number for the best deal.

Looks like the same guide that comes with the Megaparts kits.

Here's a question I have not yet been able to find the answer to. Does the big block non HP engines (68 383 2bbl use any spark plug heat shields. I always see them mentioned on HP C- bodies, but nothing on non HP.

That would be because Megaparts sells the Hoffman built shields.

Yes they are heat shields for the two bbl 383's

Thanks @jct. Based on your experience the spark plug heat shields were also used on the non HP 383's (circa 68)

I have always questioned that because I don't recall ever having these heat shields on this engine, and even in high school when I rebuilt the heads I was very good at putting every thing back.

And second I always only see reference to the HP big block C- body engines. If they did put them on 2bbl, then why do they only mention HP engines? This still bugs me. Considering every documentation I have seen is based on the above links I don't have a second source for the information.
I guess I should accept that documentation on the C- body is not as complete as some of the other body styles.

I seem to recall them on Dad's 68 Newport, I can vouch for them being on all the 65's I've had.........

Ok, I will concede and find some to put back on. I probably have some ones that came with my replacement kit, but did not put them on because the instructions said for HP C- body.
Everyday there is something to learn.

Sorry for hi-jacking @Davews .

They have been on every big block I've worked on, standard or HP. Either side of the dump on the manifolds.

I guess that is actually what my point was, without coming right out and saying it.

It's really wasted on me.... I don't do subtle at all. My wife learned to point and say "This is what I want for my birthday" a long time ago.
