Kevins 67 Goat

  • One was larger and the other was just big enough to fit the manifold.  I opted for that size.  It was very hard to make them look old and not new.  I was still a stickler for a "Square Box"

  • The material to make the handles out of was obviously Hemp Rope.  That was the primary rope of choice during those times.  The other crate had the rope holes cut into the split of two of the boards.  I was learly about this also.

  • After many very unobvious questions we came up with these.  We angled the attaching hardwood boards as per the original and we utilized Screw In Bronze Threaded Inserts to enable the manifold to be removed and reinstalled without damaging the wood.

  • The intake manifold was held in by Lag Screws on the Original box.  This way it was removeable and reinstallable, but for a few times.  Sooner or later the wood would be destroyed by the lag screws.  With our Screw in Nut Serts it will be infinately re...

  • Pontiac must of came to their senses about mid year production because the later model I have does not have this "Heat Riser"  I guess it could also be attributed to the GTO only.  Well, someone will tell me sooner or later.

  • Here you go.  In the front of the Carburetor Primary Ventury Holes you will see this "Heat Riser"  They take a special gasket, Metal plate and etc to seal correctly.  I never did like these and threw them out.  It seemed to me to be a good formula for ...

  • Other than that I had to remove a broken timing cover stud, tap all the holes, Shake and Bake the manifold and check for cracks.  It was a beautiful Survivor.  Now the hard part.  Reman the carb and plate an OEM Air cleaner.
