Its a reflective barrier I got it at lowes someone suggested it I think it was Wallaby it is easy to work with and was on about 25 bucks enough to do the whole thing. Its cuts easy and forms in place good I used 3m spray adhisive seems to be working good.

I like all 3 years when I was looking I was looking for a 70 (first year) or a 72 (the year I graduated) but ended up with a 71 go figure But thats the first full year I drove so it all worked out.

Does it turn over but just wont fire? or wont turn over at all? As far as the exhaust it depends on local or state laws where the exhaust exits, noise may be a problem but around here anyway they really dont bother you unless you get playing to much.

Welcome to the site

Now that I didnt know on the 64 chevelle the frame stands were different from sb to bb

Does it do this after a fresh oil change also, maybe the oil breaks down a bit when it gets a little older. check to see if the oil is thinning out an bit maybe to much fuel running through the engine and not burning completly also smell the oil to see if theres any fuel in there. Just another thought.

so the igniter II is worth the xtra money compared to the original igniter. Sounds like the igniter II is the way to go?
Yes deffinatly but make sure the coil on the car is compatable with the system you get I used an accel coul but pertronix makes one too. I got mine from Jegs the guy I talked to checked to make sure the accel coil would work with it so I didnt have to buy a new one. Had the accel on the car already. Remember to follow the instructions.

Does the igniter II still all hide under the original cap for that factory look?
Yes

Hey I have a factory 4 barrel manifold for that enging it came out of a 68 327 or 350 according to the numbers on the manifold.
-
Would you need to weld it to the tunnel or could you use panel bond on it? Just a question not that I have plans to do it (unless I found the set up right)

I switched over to it 2 years ago with no problems at all, Hope I didnt jynx myself.

I got one from advanced auto it didnt work in mine so I ordered a factory duplicate from opg that didnt work eather so I have other problems also but I have the extra one from aap. It is a single tube one its similer to the one in the pic only with 1 tube it has the plastic float. If you want it and it will work twenty bucks plus shipping its yours. I think I paid around $45.00 for it.

Wow that looks and sounds great nice work but made me very nervous leaning over the engine wearing a tie i've herd of them getting caught in the fans before be careful. Great job

Good luck Scott with start up. Do you use a battery tender I hear they work good. I use one on my tractor and have gotten an extra year out of that battery this year will be 2 extra if it starts in the spring well see. Good luck

See if you can find someone that makes the fake ones and if there not to expensive have them make one for you and look at it compared to the real deal see if there close.

Not a clue heres what mine looks like, its not pretty
I guess you lucky you have one you can read Good luck figureing it out

Like Tony said sometimes its better to walk away from it for a while. One night I fought tring to get the alt bolt in and got frustrated I called it a night. Came back in the morning and it slid right in, go figure. Sometimes you get a bit tired and have other things on your mind and it fights ya all the way. Some times you just have to sit back and reflect.

I assume because the holes for the chrome are still in the doors the factory chrome is going back on? I like that. Looks great so far a lot of hard work there cant wait to see it done.
