Scott S. Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 They always look so much nicer with a fresh coat of paint. Did your Dad find any coupons for paint in those papers ???? Every penny helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crom Cruach Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Can anyone tell me what this bolt hole is for? A missing mount to lift the engine? It’s right beside the bracket that holds the spark plug leads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Hey Paul, is there one on the opposite side as well ? My best guess would be that they are just holes for alternate types of brackets, etc, depending on what the intake was used for and options on different vehicles. Remember, Chev 350's (or any small block configuration) went into so many cars and trucks that they were drilled to fit everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, Chev 350's (or any small block configuration) went into so many cars and trucks that they were drilled to fit everything. I have seen a bracket on later models that went across the back of the block to hold vacuum lines to the transmission use those holes. That was on a '76 Silverado pick up truck. If you're worried about vacuum leakage, just put a plug with some sealant in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crom Cruach Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thank Scott. I don’t think it’s an issue, looks like it’s a lifting point like what’s on the same place on the other side. Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S. Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I don't know that I would use it as a lifting point as the thread isn't that big or deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crom Cruach Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 nice to get to this stage. Rebuilt the Quadrajet too with larger primary jets (65) and smaller primary rods (44B), and a new choke pull off mechanism. Pretty much just have to put fluids back in and hope for the best it works again! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
