63 CDV stem valve seals ...
Hi there fellas
not sure what happened to my last post...but looks like I have a leak near stem valve seals because car has been taking quite a bit of oil. I'm going to inspect it closer but meantime I wanted to ask you guys about those 'umbrella' seals. Can't find them anywhere that work with 390 engine.
any help?

They will normally come as part of a head gasket/top end kit.
It would seem to me, knackered stems seal will generally cause an engine to smoke on start up. Before you get too far into it, I would suggest doing some solid checks etc.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but make sure you're spot on before tearing the top end off.
Unless you're going to change them with the heads still on. That's a whole different procedure as well.

Check Fel-Pro SS 6418. Listings on Amazon and eBay show them fitting a '63 390.

Lower Front End Ball Joints

Good Morning all!
I took the 64 into the shop to have some adjustments completed and in the process decided to have the lower ball joints replaced as was recommended the last time I had it in. I ordered the parts and came into the shop. They quoted me nearly $500 to replace those lower ball joints requiring nearly 4hrs of labor. Now this is a reputable shop and they know me by name here and they will continue to get my business. I am just questioning what on earth is…

I'm having my steering sector rebuilt, and considering changing it from 20-1 ratio 4.2 turns lock to lock to 3.5 turns lock to lock @ 16-1 ratio, If i change from a 3 1/4" box to a 3" box i could have a 14-1 Ratio steering response would be faster, shorter distance to turn the wheel to get a response, has anyone done this? and how do you like it? thank you
