Hittin on all 6

[3 on the tree]

Pulled the oriiginal head today. As I suspected, #6 exhaust valve was down in the seat bout 1/8th of an inch. Took me 8 hours, counting cleaning and painting parts. The old girl runs beautiful now!!!! Here's some pics, so you younguns can see what the base motor for a K5 was in 1970.

Sorry, but I don't understand. Did you break a valve spring or lose a valve stem retainer? How did you fix it?

Nothing purdier then ol' chevy orange!!! How much torque did those six's make?

Nice work

Did that engine come with the HEI dizzy.?

I put a later year head on, with hardened seats and valves. I can't rremember the torque specs, but with 3.73 gears, it will pull uphill at an idle, with the 3 speed. I put the HEI distributor in it, and put the points setup on a shelf, in case I ever want to do a total resto.
