Never heard of that.The number is on the bottom of the head between #1 & 2 spark plug holes.It should be something like "W-53 or U67".
-
What's the casting number on the head?

The only airworthy Hurricane in NA. -
Full windows are the US model.If you have "wing"windows,the truck was grey market and brought into the states.

All things are not equal. I have a 2.3 stroker that I am using a un-touched L-16 manifold on and I am make huge numbers down low(which was the plan).Depends where you want the power.
-
Port velocity is the speed at which the charge moves thru the manifold & ports.The smaller the port the faster the speed. Think of sucking thru a small(diameter) straw vs. a big one.Unless you're cammed & ported for high RPM operation,a "big" manifold runner could hurt you more than help.And if you follow Mike's intructions,you'll be fine.
-
On a L-18,you should be considering port velocity more than you are. Mike's advice is appropriate for your app.

The Collings Foundation just picked up the last surviving Tomahawk from Hickham Field. -
Should have postponed until you had your bill and could PROVE that you weren't talking on the phone. Mike-turn it off when driving? Sorta defeats the purpose of having a "mobile phone" now-doesn't it?

It's gonna tank.

We are losing these guys rapidly.It won't be long before the "greatest generation" is completely gone. Enjoy them & thank them while you can.

I have crewed on the "909".I am one of the tour stop organizers in Tucson. Rob just bought the "Littlefield" collection."stop the tanks"?That's funny.It ain't gonna happen. Kilo-what Connie are you talking about? These were shot here APril of '13.

A good gauge that has a 270 degree "sweep" so you can see even a few pounds of pressure.Should have left it at #2.You're timing will be a "bit off".

I like C-47's better.

Shitcan the Haines and get a FSM.It's worth its weight in gold.

521 on a trailer with a washer & dryer in the bed at the Chevron/Jack in the box exit 252 off the 10 in Tucson yesterday.Truck was mint and the color of the goon at the top of this page.
-
There's a code on the manifold.Something like E23.What is it?
-
How about a really good gauge(270 degree) direct to the port and crank it-establish a baseline.
-
Somebody makes door gaskets.I bought them from someone here.So long now-I don't remember who.
-
What did you put on the OP sending unit threads to seal it?
