1966 K19 question

Re: 1966 K19 question

Julio,
I have own this car 33 years this coming February. None of the smog was it it except the air cleaner base and the exhaust manifolds. Had to hunt everything down. The only thing that is missing is the diverter valve bracket that connects the valve to the bottom of the base of the air cleaner lid. BTW the judging manual is incorrect on this. The diverter valve does not connect to the valve cover like it does on the '67 big block cars does.

The Sun/Air and Wheels pamphlet should be in the glove box. They still pop up on eBay and the Driveline from time to time.

Beautiful car! Are you running your air equipment or just have it for looks?
I'm in the same boat as you, had the manifolds, air cleaner and water pump, tracking the rest down. Bill Hodel is supplying me with the rest of the system and a pump dated within 2 months and ironically it's dated the same and the example in the judging guide. Good to see a finished example, not many of these floating around.

Tracked one down on eBay, second edition original copy! Can't wait to throw it in the glovebox with the rest of the literature!
