Yes, what took you so long to notice??? Did you not see that on New Year's Eve when I hit 4000 posts I was miraculously healed and am now able to say Chevy?????

Vern, are you doing a full on correct canadian 6 cyl repaint. If so there are a few things to keep in mind that are unique to the canadian cars in general.
Ex. Canadian cars have the oil cap painted orange too
The canadian cars use an Aluminuim coil. with natural aluminum finish.
Valve cover decal is "econoflame" i think i have one?????
I'm sure there is more. See Pics of my correctly restored 64 194

Not quite sure how correct it will be when done. It has electronic ignition right now and I am not sure if I will change it . Probably not ever going to pull the motor . We got the car cheap and I don't want to put a bunch of money into it . As we all know 4ds are not worth a whole bunch no matter how well you restore them

You can't fool us Dave. A "correctly restored" 194 does not use a Motomaster oil filter!!!
I'm surprised you didn't mention my incorrect hose clamps too. Sometimes you have to sacrafice drivability for concouse perfection.
CTC filters are now "warranty approved" Does anyone make OE tower clamps, that are not sh-t? I bought a set, big $$ and they all folded over sideways.. I took them all off, and threw them away.. I hate paying big money for crap

I saw those but I didn't want to beat on you too hard! You may show up here on the 24th and lay a beating on me if I had. Wouldn't that be a battle of a couple of heavyweights

I think that the motor is also a 250 6 cyl. the oild dipstick tube should be beside the distributor but these pictures are of great help. Unless this is in a "full size" Beaumont not a Chevy II style body It is hard to tell where the deep part of the oil pan is. I am going to attempt to drill beside the distributer for the correct placement of the dipstick tube. If any has a close up picture of the tube on a 194 chevy II style motor it would help allot. Thanks.
