Re: 1968 help
Steveedee makes a good point. If you do have your head in for a valve job, ask the machinist to use Stellite valve seats. The originals were made to run with TetraEthylLead additive in the gas. That stuff's been illegal in Cal for 25 years.
Stellites are better equipped to handle the goofy gas we get nowdays. If you do find another L6 Head, it will need a valve job anyway, if not other machining operations.
