Okay, stupid and lazy here. Is there anyway to identify a pre 1963 drool tube head without removing valve cover for casting number ?
Not sure year of my head and have read spark plug crush washers are to be left on for pre 1963 heads.

Pull one plug and see if they are on there. I know that didn't answer your question but if it has been running with or without them you are probably fine.

Shrugging about it and going "Whatever" is probably good enough as a get-by until the next time you have the cover off to adjust the valves. It's sloppy and slack as a permanent policy.

Dan, looking at the threaded hole in the head, I see what looks like a round boss that is tapered to the center and a flat spot machined at the bottom around the hole. Still not sure what vintage.

Stupid, lazy, sloppy and slack... things are adding up...

Michael, good to see you posting again!
How are the manifolds doing?

If you can take a plug out and use a flashlight to see the plug machining.
I have an early head, no alternator boss, and I will try and take some pictures to show the hole machining.

Someone posted the tech note from Chrysler, if you want it, send me a message.

The tech lit from Chrysler is here. I got your pics you emailed, but…well, I'm finding one thing about 'retirement' is that details are beginning to get a little fuzzy around the edges, so I don't trust my recollection well enough to say your pics/description are '63+ or '62-.

Hey Stan, OK, the HyperPak exhaust manifolds. As you know, I dropped them off with Mark (AussieSpeed) in Australia a couple of years ago. I think Mark chose to go another direction and pursue the Dutra Duals. So, he was kind enough to consolidate a bunch of Hemi 6 motors/parts and they are set to arrive next week along with the HyperPak exhaust manifolds and my turbo big block exhaust manifold. All that and back to square one !

If this long festering project ever gets done, it would be nice to offer a HyperPak intake and exhaust as a set. Maybe if the economy goes to hell prices would come down and this project would be more feasible. Your thoughts ?

Sure wish he would have gone with the HPs as well, I think there is a market.

And yes the bundle is a good idea.
I am getting all my parts together to have as much as a kit and documentation as possible.
After all us old guys die off there will be only vapors left!

I will send you a PM.

Good to hear from you!
