As long as You are convinced it weighs that that's all that matters.

The story goes. ...... We were out in Riverside at the Moreno Valley mall when we came upon them. The Tang packets nearby first led us to believe they were from the late 50s.

When we discovered an empty Miracle Whip container full of head bolts and washers we knew we were dealing with pieces from 1964 or later.

It was the Pringles potatochip can that had been used to prop the intake up that nailed the date of manufacture as 1969.

Naturally we assumed they were spares from Richard Pettys winning effort at Riverside that year, cleaned them up and used them.

Jim that 59 390 really has you hating old engine parts doesn't it
