Tom, I just wanted to say Thank You for your help in my thread with tuning issues!

Hi Tom, today i've a new answer for you! Could you tell me the correct spark for my 1972 402 BB!!! The old owner used seven AC Delco R44T and one R44Ts!!!!!!!! Yes one spark was different from the others!!! Now i'm riding with NGK BR6FS, a marine spark. But could be these NGK sparks my issue? Maybe my distributor is ok! Thanks for your patience.

Hi Tom, how do you do?
I think about your message and i decide to buy a stock front disc brake conversion , like those used in 196, keeping the rear drum brake! I want it like it leaves Kansas City assembly plant in 1969!!!!
But unfortunately i discovered that my engine is not a stock 396!!!! Last night i was looking for casting numbers and i saw these codes:

Engine block : 3999290, D6 72 ( 402 BB 1972, 2 bolt )
Front : T 0412 TLM (Towananda NY, april 12, Truck TH400 )

Cylinder heads : 3993820, L 21 70, GM 11 T ( 1970 LS3 heads 330 HP, december 21 of 1970, 113 cc , oval port, open chamber , 2.06 INT. and 1,72 EXH.

That's the truth?

Tom, check out my profile. Went to High School at Trevor Browne, class of 1978. Just posted a pic of the Malibu I drove in school. Have you been in Phx. long? Used to run with Bill and Jullian Borrego from the west side. Cruisin' Central ave. Get back at me if you can-Regards, Ron O.

There is nothing I like more than talking cars, especially old Chevys & eating lunch. However, I am still a go to work every day kinda guy and I will keep punching the clock as long as they let me. With that being said, if my teaching schedule allows I can take a long lunch sometime. So let me know when you are coming to this side of town.

Tom, I'm sure since I haven't updated my membership I'm considered a visitor. Does this disallow my questions to the forum. If so, I am very sorry. I was a member for a few years and don't have any real excuse for not rejoining. I thought at one time ( before I joined) that you could post witout being a member. Please let me know. And also, is PayPal the only way to pay? Not real familiar with that procedure. I'll rejoin reguardless. This forum has saved me lots of money and answered so many questions for me. Thanks.
