Bumping this old thread with a hope of seeing some more nailhead items... Here is my contribution, a pretty rare Nailhead Spalding that is currently being rebuilt by Bubbas.
Finally rounded up the last 6x2 intake that i didnt have, the weiand drag star tall, so from left to right: weiand drag star tall, weiand drag star low, edelbrock, gotha and offy.
A bump... I am trying to track down a 4-71 Cragar intake for a 322 nailhead... If after a while I run into a wall I will talk to a local foundry with a view to making some up.
I have some rare stuff for sale in the classified, Gotha Rockers, Belond Headers, for 322. Here's a my 322 with an Edmunds intake and valve covers.
Ive been trying to locate one for sometime also, made the mistake about 10 years by not buying one, it between that and a hilborn, same price for either.....what can ya do!
I have to bump this thread because I scored the final pieces to make a full dressed Nailhead in my Ford Coupe. Weiand Wire Looms:
Great find. Do you have a Weiand intake to pair with it? Sent from my SM-N986U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Looks like you got a nice set up. I like the Weiand nailhead parts too. Here's my intake for the 264/322. Sent from my SM-N986U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
had a 66 gs with a 4 spd that got totaled. sold the trans to my buddy, but kept the flywheel. the dilemma is i have 3 flywheels. 2 are for a 455 and 1 should be a nailhead. anybody have casting numbers off a n/h flywheel? they all look alike.
This summer I obtained two major items for my 322 nailhead build, a vertex magneto and a 471 blower manifold.
I don't know the casting numbers, but I can tell you they both have six mounting bolts, the Nailhead flywheel will have a seventh hole that aligns with a hole in the crankshaft flange. Nails are externally balanced, if you don't align the hole it will vibrate. 455's are internally balanced.
@'34 Ratrod I bought mine here: http://centervilleautorepair.com Russ is the man. A great resource for this stuff
Thanks. I check in with Russ every once in awhile but so far my timing hasn't been the best. I'll keep trying.
Say Why And 2x4 and NOS Mallory with matching WCFB'S. Got some innards for it, too. And an Offy adapter to a 39 Toploader. I have a set of Early Buick Crest valve covers I have to get plated and need a flywheel yet.
i'm beginning not to like this thread. bought the altered in the spring with the intention of having twin blown v6's in it, just to do it. been a buick guy all my life, but the damn nailheads are drawing me away from my original plan. gotta find meds to keep me straight......
Figured I’d bump this thread with an unusual Nailhead intake that was brought to the Monroe swap meet in Washington. I bought it to possibly use on my 322 I have stashed away. Need to snap some photos of my other nailhead parts as well!!! If anyone has any info about this intake would be appreciated, couldn’t find anything and the nailhead Facebook group was stumped!!!
