Yes, they will do it for $135 plus shipping both ways. I am still hopeful to find another for less $$, but I do have them to fall back onto. He asked me who told me about him, and I gave you as the reference. Thanks, Jim!
Found it in my Eastwood paper catalog, and also in their online catalog. I don't know why I missed it the first time there, but I know I looked for it when I placed the first order!!:spank: $30 for a kit.
POR-15 Cast Iron Gray Adam, I'm used the POR-15 Cast Iron Gray on my Wildcat's manifolds, as well as a few other items. They sell it at Southwest Auto Parts, on Southwest Ave., just west of Kingshighway (on da' Hill!). One pint is more than enough and it looks great after it dries. If I knew how to post a photo, I'd include one. Stupid computers!!!
bench seat shifter, RA aircleaner 1971 Gran sport I'm new to board. I'm into the Judges. In my parts searches I had just found these items from a 71 Buick GS: RA aircleaner, & bench seat hurst shifter-which I'm told is rare. I don't have need for these , any idea what they are worth? Would trade for gto/judge 1970 parts, thank you
No Wildcat Yet! Martin, The body is still up in the air. The frame has been painted, all suspension painted and reassembled, new engine mounts, trans. mount, rebuilt 425 and SP400 are installed. I'm out of cash for the body work. :ball: Probably next summer before I can afford the body work and interior kit. It will be worth the 5 years off the road.
You can get the POR-15 here http://www.por15store.com/ they are great guys and do a lot of the midwest shows. Fast shipping....I get mine in a day or two and most. Bill
I just got an email from the POR15 people and they said that you can call 1-800-639-0459 (PSK LTD) and they can tell you if there is a local distributor in your area. I just called and found 5 within 10 miles of where I work. Not sure if it's the same price as the POR15 website, but you can get it immediately and not pay for shipping.
Just restored a few of them yesterday.. Use the POR product, thinned with their solvent for application from a spray gun, after the manifolds are surfaced on the flange side (very important to install with no gaskets and not have leaks) and then the threaded holes are repaired as needed, and they are blasted, and then cleaned with acetone. Important to not touch them with you fingers after cleaning. I prefer spraying this stuff, as I feel it gives the best finish. Durability has been good on ones done in the past, I have also had them coated with high temp coating, and one process does not seem to have a great advantage over the other. Here is a pic note the fairly rare 67 LH manifold hanging near the center.. that's your's Harvey!
I also used the POR-15. I painted them with a brush. Directions said use one thick coat when brushing. :Smarty: But I agree with Jim.. I think spraying it is the way to go. A little goes a long way. You won't need more than a pint. Here's the before and after pics. That's after 4,000 miles on the car this summer. :TU:
It's a pic of Mark's Booster and Master Cylinder but you can get a good look at the mainfold. :bglasses: BTW: I was very disappointed with the VHT Bright Red. As you can see it burned right off the heat riser. I shot it with the infrared temp gauge and it was only 350 degrees and the 550 paint burned off.
I assume the POR-15 paint does not work on headers, but does anyone know for sure? Just wondering if a "poor-man's high temp coating" might exist. -Bob Cunningham
I used the Eastwood manifold paint on mine, and I brushed it on. WOW a little does go a long way for sure. You can almost do one whol manifold on one brush dipping:laugh: I also had my red paint burn off there, and it is the 1200* stuff. So I think we're all in the same boat, there. Here's a picture of the 60 with the manifolds installed. I don't have a closer picture..
