Engine Question
Hi all,
Can anyone explain what is the purpose of the extention (seen in the atached pic) between the block and the water pump?
Thanx

RE: Engine Question
Isn't that just an unpainted timing chain cover?

That's all it is. The colors of that engine are all wrong. If it is a 65, then the block, oil filler cap and dipstick shouild be black. If it is a 66, then the valve covers should not be gold.

66GT350man,
Somehow, between your viewing and mine, a vaccuum distributor appeared. It's a regular small block.

My C code has a vacuum advance. Is it a K code clone?
