Silicone based products seem to keep things nice and "hydrated"..
Happy Birthday, BTW

My big question -
Is the engine rebuildable? What is the reason for the replacement?

Welcome aboard!

Some might read the thread more than once, so that will account for some of the extras who have "viewed" this thread.

How much?
The picture you uploaded doesn't work.

That's a fun story...glad to see it worked out for you Bryan!

I use the stock points in my car and they do very well for me. If you are considering an HEI, get a coversion from Dave Ray in Nevada -
He does killer stuff. I won't bother with an HEI unless I get a distributor from him.

Yep! Been working very hard on this lately. I've taken a few days off due to NEEDING a break from the sort of monotiny (sp?) this can cause, and my eyes start to cross after looking at so many VIN's and cowl tags and option codes.
I am getting a very steady stream of cars thanks to some very dedicated members and scouts
I appreciate all the help and support everyone is giving me...it would not be so successful this fast without your help. -
I have the old style on my Centurion, and it's really the same thing. I bought mine used.
Really, the only good thing about the Aluminum intake is the weight savings. If you have an otherwise stock engine, you're wasting your money. Now, port those heads and the intake and throw a set of headers on that car and you'll be set

What temps are you reading?? Idle? At speed? Highway?

Thanks for the Tip Keith..
I guess it doesn't matter for me now though

Have you taken a look at Matt Harwood's Dual Carb Registry?

Have you checked out teh BPG board?
The database came to a crashing halt and it wasn't able to be fixed over the weekend due to lazy providers. It should be back up soon.

Yes, you need the booster from the disc brake car to make it work, since it has a longer linkage rod to the pedal... I assume you bled your brakes thoroughly?

Where did those clear floor mats come from??

Looks great!!!

Do you receive the Bugle, Runar? I noticed you have an ad in there for wanting a 73 Centurion vert.
Well, there is one for sale in there, as well!
1973 Centurion Convertible 455. Red with tan top and interior. Show or Drive. Recent Paint. Photos available. Asking $13,500. George Langan, Mosaic, PA 18507. (570) 343-3188, geolansr@aol.com
I also emailed this gentleman to ask if he would register his car with me in the Centurion Registry .

About a year ago, I stumbled onto an eBay auction for a 71 Centurion convertible. Everything seemed typical of an auction for one of these cars. The only thing that hooked me in particular, as the color. Twilight Turquoise with a White convertible top. Holy smokes!!
Brian get me hooked again a few days ago by showing me this picture:
I quickly found an old email I had received when I was conversing with the owner about the car. When I originally inquired, they were asking $7500 for it. I was not in the position to spend that much, especially since I had just dumped close to that into my white convertible. A couple months pass by, and she emails me agian, dropping the price to $6500
Once again, I decline, hoping to save to buy a house. Well, now I have a house...so after Brian showed me this picture, I had a tinge of hope in the back of my head that she had not sold the car yet. To my dismay, she had. She sold it not too long after I had talked to her the last time. It went to a new owner in Albuquerque, NM.
So now to allow me to continue salivating over this car, I have entered it into my registry here:
1971 Twilight Turq. Centurion Convertible
This car, along with Ted's Formal Coupe will be mine...oh yes...they will be mine
