Who was it that said Indy are a pain in the ass to deal with? Oh yeah, everyone...
Chris at WASP has now given up trying to get sense out of 'em so I'll have to source my own bits now

db · Post by db » Fri Nov 22, 13 1:43 pm

For Edelbrock Indy 6076 head (stamped D0285)...

1x valve guide (this one's urgent!)

1x 2.05 stainless inlet valve.
5" x 11/32" stem, twin groove.

Set of 16 spring retainers.
(Spring o/d is 1.5".
id of outer spring is 1.12".
id of inner spring is 0.69")

Set of 16 locks.
(old ones are 7*, general opinion seems to be 10* are safer)

Set of 16 teflon valve seals.

Set of special length pushrods.
Ball & cup,
5/32" stem.
7.5" overall length (7.44" measured from inside of cup to end of ball)
Maybe cut-to-length like Mancini ones?

If you need any more info, pics, etc let me know

don't want to confuse you Paul but are these the heads you have?

http://usaperform.com/indyedelbrock-hif ... p-998.html

note it says offset rockers, your ports look very straight at the sides, you can only do that withoffset rockers like my old T/A's.

add......ok, maybe not?

Hi

This is a great thread really helpful for me as I have a 67. Just started mine hoping to get it completed for spring 14. Sticking with small block as it is matching will have to do upgrades but that is yet to be decided.

Regards

Great to see another one Chris

Feel free to ask anything, I'll help all I can.
All the early pics of mine were lost off the site due to a glitch but I still have them and hundreds more if there's anything you need to see!!

I made up the last couple of sections and finished tacking the inner arch today. I drew a grid on the good side and transferred the measurements onto this side. It's pretty damn close now

I trimmed most of the waste off the new outer but it's gonna need a LOT of fettling to get it to fit and look ok

Well I reckon I'm as proud of this job as any I've achieved on this car!!

I've had several goes over the last couple of weeks at getting this crappy arch section to resemble the original and to fit the hole I made.
Each time ended in frustration and misery as I felt I was eiether getting nowhere or making it worse!
I cut it to shape with 1/2" overlap, then used my home-made stamp to re-shape the lip. This of course distorted the whole damn panel even worse than it was

I had the bright idea of using my profile tool as a guide from the opposite arch and I realised where I was going wrong.

Eventually it all sort of came together and there it is, actually pretty damn close
