I have a '68 convertible G13 build date. I have started searching for some key parts, would rather use vintage materials than new but there are some good reproductions out there. Question:
What would the correct time horizon be for the (3) Holley carbs, and the Winters intake for that matter, for my build date? Since these are non-GM parts, is there a generally accepted rule of thumb for how many months before build date are acceptable? If the (3) Holley carbs are all in the ballpark but vary from one-another by a month or two does that matter?
Second, on Re-Stamping: what is the prevailing thought on date re-stamps? In this context there is a San Diego company advertising the whole 3x2 setup reproduction/rebuild and re-stamp whatever date you want on there.
My car is a driver - but I still want it to be a quality restoration and stay as true as I can to proper original configuration, dates, etc. Thanks for your help.
