  1. As we discussed on the other thread, The 300 is closer kin to the second generation V8. Rather than the nailhead. The original poster would do well to keep all this one thread, For the later V8: #1 is on the left Nailhead #1 is on the right, as you rightly said And of course the straight eight, the foremost cylinder is #1. And that holds true for V motors. The foremost cylinder is #1
  2. My Prayers for John, his family, and caregivers.
  3. i know that the '55 sales literature to be inaccurate. '78 maybe as well It might be a one of one
  4. If you don't have a manual, Try Ebay for a paper copy. Also there are DVD copies. I got a DVD shop manual from Rock Auto
  5. That's where I'm at. Minor stuff, I'm OK. Anything major, or safety related (brakes), I rely on a professional. The shop I use has a sign 'No Outside Parts. We supply all parts necessary." Thankfully, they have told me they'll happily work on my Roadmaster. If, I supply the parts. It's a good deal.
  6. 300 is closer kin to the 350 and 455, than to Nailhead Nailhead's #1 is on the right because the right bank is forward ​of the left 300's left bank is forward. #1 is left

  14. Interesting. You're saying replica but, there are many original touches The dashboard and controls look like they're from an original 'A'. Including the choke/mixture knob on the right, the starter pedal, and the spark advance and throttle on the steering column
  15. Automobiles do not increase in value. The rise in prices is due to the DECREASE in the value of the dollar.
  16. Pinehurst green looks looks very close I would try a '55 chart
