All,
I am trying to restore my original ignition shielding ('66 300 horse) and have a couple of questions that I hope can be easily answered.
First, my front clip was broken off some time in the past. I ordered a new one from LIC. LIC calls out one front clip for '66-'67. Upon close inspection by Dan Holstein and myself, we don't think it is correct. Looking in Noland's book, it has GM drawings that call out GM#3882701 (page 371) for small blocks. The clip from LIC, looks like the big block version (GM# 3904852 called out on page 437 in Noland's book).
So . . . is the one from LIC incorrect? Where does one find a correct reproduction front clip for a base 327 ignition shield?
Also, can some one please post a picture of a correct front clip for my application (correctly attached preferred) as well as the clip on the rear?
Finally, Jerry Fuccillo has made a tool to rivet the new one on (as in the archives). I've talked to him about it. Luckily, Dan has made one to Jerry's specs, but it is difficult at best to get to work. Does anyone know of another way/tool to do the rivets on this little monster?
Thank you in advance
