AO Smith tag, from the oil line, fuel line, and new rear sway bar, don't think it started as a big block either, but it only looked at the pics quick.

That's the big one Tom. It's also great how the seller is commenting how great the stamp pad is.

- Text talks about ignition shielding (where is it on a 427?

) "to prevent interference from the AM/FM radio"

- those don't look like '67 correct headrests?

That's why I like to start threads like this. Beside the obvious answers there can be some tough ones that new people should learn to better educate them selfs.

The KO wheels are NOT KH originals. My repro bolt ons say Western Wheel KH. I believe KH bought western wheel. My repros are at least 13 years old.

Oil pressure gauge is incorrect for a 400 HP 427 at 80 psi, should be 60 psi.

#1 problem I see is that it is not in my garage

.

For a flea bay add, the spelling, punctuation, and grammar are pretty good, only about a dozen errors, e.g. "Tonwanda", "number's (sic) matching", etc.

I get the no side pipes on an AOS body, but look forward to what I can from you pros.
